M: Lost property. Can I help you?
W: Oh, yes. I’ve had my briefcase stolen.
M: 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 box-type like a man’s.
M: Mmm... and how does it close?
W: It’s got buckles at the front... two of them. They’re gold-plated ones.
M: Fine. Was it locked?
W: No, I’m afraid not.
M: Never mind. Any distinguishing features?
W: Pardon?
M: Any marks or badges on it that make it stand out?
W: [6]Only the brand name.
M: And where’s that?
W: [6]It’s on the back... at the bottom in the left-hand 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.
M: Right, got that. So, what did you have inside the briefcase?
W: [7]Well... all my papers from college. It’s so frustrating, but thank goodness for computers, I haven’t lost them completely!
M: Yes, you’re lucky.
W: I had my wallet in my pocket so I didn’t lose that. [7]But there were also my pens which I got for my birthday and a novel I was planning to read on the train.
M: Right. Where exactly did you lose the briefcase?
W: Well, I couldn’t believe it. [8]I was standing on the platform. It was right next to me.
M: 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 train because sometimes it comes early and then next time I looked, my briefcase wasn’t there.
M: And what time was this?
W: Ah... it must have been about 5:20... no, a bit later. I’d say 5:30 because it was just getting crowded [9]and the train normally comes at about twenty-five to six.
M: Right, if you’ll just give me some personal details... What’s your name?
W: I’m Mary Prescott.
M: And your address?
W: Flat 2, 41, Fountain Road, Canterbury.
M: And have you got a contact telephone number?
W: Yes, it’s 752239.
M: Fine. One last question—what would you say the value of your briefcase is?
W: Including the contents?
M: Yes, just a rough estimate is fine.
W: I’m not sure. Well, the briefcase itself is quite new; I bought it last month for $40. I suppose about $65. The contents are worth about 20 or 25 dollars at least.
M: That’s fine. [10]Well, if you could come down to the train station tomorrow, you can sign this form and have a look at what we’ve got.
W: OK, thanks.
