Postal Letter - Have you ever lost anything on a train?

Have you ever lost anything on a train?

Here in the UK over the past eight months, there have been numerous cases of important information being lost on trains, in McDonalds, in delivery vans, and stolen from parked cars. Most of this information is highly sensitive. So, would you lose anything on a train, or suchlike public place?

I did loose some documents pertaining to security threats in the middle east last week. I don't know where they can have got to.

If my job depended on it....Not a chance
before my parents lost me on a train! It was about 10 years ago we were getting off, my mum was leaving 1st but then the doors closed before I got through I got off at the next stop and it took my mum 2 hours to get there by bus after me I'd never been so scared before
I have never lost anything on a train or any other place. I am very careful with my things, and check where I am sitting when I get up to leave. :)
My virginity.
My wife lost her virginity on a train. I know that for a fact because I was there. HAHA LOL ROTL LMFAO. And I lost my lunch once on a rough section of track.
Dear Oracle, The above two answers make me wonder if these are complimentary posts !!! I typically drive a car ,even if the journey is ~100 miles. For longer distances I take flights. (the pubic transport in USA isn't as good as Europe). However, in public places I typically tend to loose my umbrella if I happen to be using one. Rehman EDIT: I have lost the following: My sling bag (I don't know when it fell from my coat) My wallet which I managed to retrieve My dear father--- when I was a kid--- I rediscovered him when I came back home. Hotel keys, don't know how many times I have lost these ------------------------------------------------ I tend to loose things very often at work as well (another public place) I have often lost my stethoscope my writing pad EDIT: I have lost pens on countless occassions, but, acquired many more unknowingly!! --------------------------------------------- I have been told by many afflicted individuals that I frequently loose the most important thing: Myself But, I assure you I don't qualify as a "Walter Mitty", or the "Baron Munchausen" Rehman
" lol cant say i have , i like to keep important things under lock and key , now where did i leave my keys ???"
No!!
Most of what is found is best described as 'planted intelligence'. I'm not sure who or why this is done but it may have something to do with how SiS operate, sometimes in open opposition to Government. If you want more funds for something, one sure fire way of getting them is to hype up the terror threat - which is real anyway and governments know it. We may think that as taxpayers we have some control over the activities of our intelligence services via the UK.gov, but I don't think so. My own taken on it is that SiS (Mi5/6 whoever) pretty well operate as they please and what we're really dealing with is an organisation far too complex for anyone single person to know about or even begin to understand. Secrecy is the operative word - if things were not going according to plan and you were 'M' would you tell the UK.gov? No and you would probably also arrange for a bag of their docs to suddenly appear lost on a tube train late at night here in London to be 'found' by another 'operative' who then hands the bag of goodies over to the BBC. etc. News Flash - Stop Secret Docs found on tube. Blah etc. Embarrasing for the UK.gov but who cares. . . .?
