Ok this is gonna sound very sad and pathetic but here goes:

I have lost my passport. I don't know when or where. Iy could be in Daegue/Itaewon/Seoul/on a train going back and forth/ I mean anywhere!!! I am usually very careful about this extremely important means of identification. However, I have dropped the ball.

So if anyone has found a passport for Christina Tuft. I would really appreciate it if you would call me: 010-9290-1983

First call the lost and found..

if no luck, you have to alert your embassy.

After which you will have to get a replacement...

That's not good.

It was likely stolen by terrorists.

If it doesn't turn up report it lost immediately and keep in mind this is strike one. Strike two is they will issue you a document to get home---strike three and you will have a logt of difficulty gettting another.

Not to sound like a goof but this happened to me. Lsoing a passport is not taken lightly and they will assume bthe worst i.e. you are selling it to terrorists.

Don't let it happen again. It's a lot of hassle and money involved,

I've lost, damaged and had stolen my passport 3 times in the last 5 years and now will only be issued a passport for 1 year a time. This is my third 1 year passport and they said I will not be getting a longer lasting passport anytime soon.
It's a pain to say the least.
Report it as stolen.
Get a new one.

I found a chicks passport on the train near Itaewon. How much can I make if I sell it to a Russian hooker?

If you report it stolen to the embassy, you'll need to provide proof (aka police report).

[trubadour]

yeah you have to go to a police station and get a pice of paper that reports it stolen.
1st times fine, second ok, third - as above
220,000 for a new brtisih bio-metric thing - should only take 10 working days though.

Alert the police immediately...you want someone else to use it to enter your country? PP's are worth a lot of money on the black market. If it gets into the hands of the Korean criminal underground they'll alter it and use it within a day....HURRY!

I reported it missing after work yesterday

I once left my passport on the floor of a taxi during a drunken night out in Daegu on a Friday night. On Saturday I went out again - those crazy early times in Korea - and incredibly got into the same taxi and found it on the floor!!! There was probably as much chance of that happening as winning the lottery. I'd've preferred to win the lottery but it did save me a fair wad of cash.
