Can I help you? W: Oh hello, I’d like to report a stolen briefcase , please. R: Just a minute and I’ll put you through. Repeat P: Lost property. Can I help you? W: Oh, yes. I’ve had my briefcase stolen. P: OK ... I’ll take some details ... Tell me what it looks like, first of all. W: Well ... it’s a soft leather one , you know, not a heavy box­type like a man’s. P: Mmm ... and how does it close? W: It’s got buckles at the front ... two of them They’re gold­plated ones. 19 | P a g e P: Fine ... Was it locked? W: No, I’m afraid not. P: Never mind. Any distinguishing features? W: Pardon? P: Any marks or badges on it that make it stand out? W: Only the brand name. P: And where’s that? W: It’s on the back ... at the bottom in the left­hand corner. It’s Sagi. Oh and there’s a scratch... it’s quite bad but small ... directly above the brand name. I did it recently putting it on my bike. P: Right, got that. So, what did you have inside the briefcase? W: Well all my papers from college. It’s so frustrating but, thank goodness for computers, I haven’t lost them completely! P: Yes, you’re lucky. W: I had my wallet in my pocket so I didn’t lose that but there were also my pens which I got for my birthday and a novel I was planning to read on the train. P: Right. Where exactly did you lose the briefcase? W: Well ... I couldn’t believe it. I was standing on the platform ... it was right next to me. P: You were holding it? W: I’d just put it down on the floor but I could almost feel it beside me. I was watching for my tram because sometimes it comes early and then next time I looked, my briefcase wasn’t there. P: And what time was this? W: Ah ... it was ... it must have been about 5.20 ... no a bit later. I’d say 5.30 because it was just getting crowded and the train normally comes at about twenty­five to six. P: Right, if you’ll just give me some personal details ... W: Yes. P: What name is it? W: I’m Mary Prescott . P: Can you spell that? W: Yes, it’s P­R E­S­C­O­T­T . P: And your address? W: Flat 2, 41 , Fountain Road, Canterbury. P: Fountain Road. W: Yes, number 41. P: And have you got a contact telephone number? W: Yes, it’s 7­5 double 2­3­9 . P: 7­5­double 239. Fine. One last question — what would you say the value of your briefcase is? W: Including the contents? P: Yes, Just a rough estimate is fine. 20 | P a g e
