If you were to lose your bag today, what among its contents would you regret losing?
Mine would have to be my cellphone. Because it's expensive, and because it has a really old sim card dating 5 years back and all my contacts are there.
I would also regret losing my technical pen, because it's expensive. It's worth 600php or 15 USD.
I would miss my notepad where I put all my ideas for everything, even computer games. hehe.
So what about you?

The stuff I would really regret losing is all personal stuff. My planner, because it has poetry, notes for my novel, and other random musings in it as well as all my work schedules, contacts, and some password/username notes (in code, so I don't think anyone would understand them even if they found them).
I also have some religious stuff in there I would miss. Most of my protective amulets, and some assorted small crystals and such. I'm weird like that... I don't feel safe unless I'm carrying all that sort of thing.

I would actually regret losing a few things, including the purse, as it is a gift from my hubby for my birthday. But, I would regret losing my new wallet that I just got on Friday and I would miss all of my important stuff (credit cards, driver's license, etc....in there. Then, I would also hate to lose my cellphone. It too is expensive. It is a Verizon Voyager. It has all my contacts in there but, they are backed up in my email account. But, there are some cool photos in there too. I just love my cellphone so, to loose it would make me really angry and sad.

If I lost my bag right now, I think the most important thing I would lose would be my passport. I would be in big trouble because I need it to go anywhere since I am an American living and working in China. The only other thing would be my wallet because it has both my China and American ATM cards. I could replace the China one easy enough, but the other one would be a little more difficult.

I would be really upset if I lost my bag today since it has everything in it that I would need! It has all my money in it, and my credit cards and bank cards. Someone who found it, if they had they had the motivation, they could ruin my life. It also has my social security card in it, and my ID, which I know, shouldn't be in there, but it is because I just recently needed them for something. I think this question has me feeling like it's time to clean out my purse, and keep the more important things at home.

my wallet perhaps, more than my phone. cause i can replace my phone easily if i have the money... i can always get the phone numbers, etc...
but if i lose my wallet, it would be a big interruption for me, as i need to file for affidavit of loss for my atm cards, and have it replaced, my IDs... so since they are of different bank, i will need to go to the banks one by one, and have it replaced, then return when they are ready for pick up...

I would hate to lose my personal papers most of all. My driver's licence, check book, debit card, id cards,etc. It is such a pain to have to go from place to place and cancel accounts, get new cards, etc.

That's so horrible to lose my handbag as I have many important stuff inside. At first, it's my wallet and the credit cards inside are so important. Besides, my cellphone is very necessary for me. I almost keep it with me all the time. And I will lose my portable hard disk and it'll be a nightmare as I store many important information there.

First, my daily planner. I have everything in that tiny notebook of mine, from birthdays, to meetings and other deadlines to beat. If I will lose it, then I'm history.
Second, my cellphone. I keep all important contacts in it and whenever I have an emergency I badly need those numbers.
Third, my wallet, not because of the money inside it but because it contains a very special string that was given to me by someone. Ohhh, memories.

My personal identification mysocial security card. my health insurance card, my debit card all things with my personal information on them which could be used to really get me in trouble if they fellinto the wrong hands. other gadjets could be replaced but getting your personal id cards replaced is a big hassle and you would have to change your bank numbers and allthat other stuff.

I was sitting on a park bench last year when someone ran past and grabbed my bag and went off with it. It happened so quickly I could not stop him. Luckily all it contained was a bunch of bananas, a packet of biscuits and a jar of honey. I would have loved to have seen the thief's face when he opened my bag and found my shopping. I always keep keys, cash and bank cards on my person, in secure pockets. I would never put them in a bag. I don't have a cell phone or anything of value to carry. I was most upset because there was a paperback book in the bag which I had not read and that was my biggest loss.

Thank you for marking my response. I learned the hard way not to carry valuables after I was robbed in the street outside my home. Then the police recovered my belongings (but not my money) and now I never carry much of value when I am out.

it would be my Palm PDA, and my two cellphone, those are my husbands gifts to me. I'll so regret about the Palm, since it has all our schedules and important dates and pictures. I'll lose important keys too, for the mailboxes and cars, and house.. a lot to lose, but Im careful so,,I'm good! hope I won't lose it, since I have this tendency to lose or break things.lol
