R = Receptionist
W = Woman
P = Police Officer
R: Good evening, City Police Station. 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.
