My Poor Daughter
21 Answers
She and BF were off this morning to fly to Italy. They packed last night, then headed out to pub for a Valentine's drink. She went to bar to get refills...to realise her bag had been stolen. In it were keys, cards,wallet...and PASSPORT!!!
Spent the evening in police station...contacted embassy etc this morning.
Got to work and found email that passport and bag found. Her business cards were still in bag. Everything else gone. They even emptied her account...just a small amount luckily...in Tescos.
So she met up with 2 homeless( looking)men who had her bag...found in a dustbin.
( not sure about that, but she's a good judge of people)
Airline has her booked in for tomorrow...and embassy doesn't believe passport has been cancelled. Fingers crossed!!!

I am so sorry
off putting
this happened to me in Ethpanya
and sort of dampened any desire to go again.
outside Lazaro Galdiano museum - never made it in
Plain clothes police searched me and told me to pick up cards from the police station
which was kinda convenient as it was the one you reported card theft from ( calle de recogidas)
Sooooo inefficient that I went back 0730 the next day ( 24 hr !) and waited in a queue the evg before with ten or fifteen others
and we ALL had a good natter and unburdened ourselves
and after three hours with nothing happening someone ACTUALLY said
"that was good- I am going now I feel much better!"
and another said 'zad eez good therapy!"
so that was Friday and the flight was Sun pm
and I had 3/6 to last me in Madree'
and.... have never gone back

We had OH's passport pinched from the unlocked-overnight car, the idiot! Phoned the Passport Office, told to take relevant docs to Passport Office for replacement. Problem was all the relevant docs were at home, in Germany, took a while to explain that we couldn't 'deal' with it from Germany as we couldn't get back there. Luckily MOD, his boss at the time, had all our details and they faxed them to Liverpool office. We now always have a number of photo-copies of the passports when we travel.
Hope everything goes well for you daughter's trip Pasta.

Dave, NoM, that's not what crimes against the person are. They're crimes against property. Of course the owners of the property will be affected, but the crimes are against their property, not them
It's perfectly possible the thieves hadn't the slightest idea who their victim was

I've not heard anything, so i assume she's in Italy now...though I hope she sends a message just to put my mind at rest.
Eleena...she's usually quite sensible. It was probably in her bag to avoid the " where did I put it!!!" scenario in the morning. That happened a year or so ago...it had fallen off the bed and was hidden under rejected clothes.
Nom...I'm sure the pub has cctv. Whether or not the toerags were caught on camera is something else.
