Jim: Why are you crying?
Stacy: I've lost my pocket-book
Jim: I'm sorry to hear that. Where did you lose it?
Stacy: I don't remember. I was carrying so many shopping bags and I'm not sure if I left it on the train.
Jim: Did you call the police?
Stacy: Yes, I did. But they said they cannot do anything about it and suggested I report to the credit card companies. I have reported to credit card companies to cancel all my credit cards and replace them.
Jim: Did you have so much money in it?
Stacy: No. Thanks God. Only $20.
Jim: So, why are worrying now? At worst, it will take a while to get your new credit cards but you have not lost much.
