Learn Japanese with JapanesePod101.com! How could you lose your wallet? You could swear it was in your pocket just a few moments ago. You didn’t stop once on the drive between her parents’ home in Japan and here except for gasoline and even then, you never left the car. But when you reached into your pocket to pay for dinner, you realized frighteningly that there’s nothing there. You ask your girlfriend in Japanese, “What happened to my wallet?” She looks at you, dumbstruck and asks in Japanese, “How would I know where your wallet is?” Panicked, you reply in Japanese, “I think I lost my wallet!!” She asks in Japanese, “Is it in your bag?” Remembering your bag, you frantically grab it from the backseat and tear it open searching for the missing wallet with no success. Of course it’s not there though, why would you have put it back in your bag after you stopped for gas? Things are just not making sense… The helpful waitress alerts a policeman to help you report your missing wallet. But as you begin to describe the missing wallet in Japanese, the policeman tells you in Japanese, “We need your name, telephone number, and add…” The policeman is suddenly cut off by a screeching sound! What is that noise?!
