As my train was not due to leave for another hour I had plenty of time to spare After buying some magazines to read on the journey I made my way to the luggage office to: collect the heavy suitcase I had left there three days before. There were only a few people waiting, and I took out my wallet to find the receipt for my case The receipt did not seem to be where I had left it. I emptied the contents of the wallet, and the railway tickets, money scraps of paper, and photographs tumbled out of it but no matter how hard I searched the receipt was nowhere to be found
I explained the situation sorrowfully to the assistant The man looked at me suspiciously as if to say he had heard this type of story many times and asked me to describe the case I told him that it was an old brown looking object no different from the many suitcases I could see on the shelves The assistant then gave me a form and told me to make a list of the contents of the case.
