When Dave’s passport was stolen, he could have had a very different summer if it hadn’t been for the help of the online passport renewal service. Dave was over the moon, he was going with his mates to book his first holiday without his parents. His mum had told him to take his passport with him when he went to the travel agency as some travel agents would ask to see the passport for their records. He’d put his passport in his back pocket along with his wallet, even though his mum had said it wasn’t a good idea to put them together. He left the house to meet up with his mates in the town centre before they went to the travel agents.
Dave and his mates were in high spirits that day and decided to have a quick drink to celebrate before they went to the travel agency. They had one drink and then Dave asked them if they all wanted one more before they went to ‘do the deed.’ His mates thought one more drink was a good idea, especially if Dave was paying, that was until he reached into his back pocket and found that both his wallet and his passport were no longer there. At first Dave thought that his mates were winding him up and that one of them had taken the things from his back pocket. When Dave’s mates finally convinced him that was not the case, he had to accept that his money and passport had been stolen; he wished that he’d listened to his mum as it looked like because of a stolen passport everything was going to be ruined.
Davis mates said they wouldn’t book the holiday that day, but Dave told them to go ahead while he went and reported the theft of his passport and wallet down at the local police station. By the time Dave reached home he was really fed up, the day that had started out so well had been a disaster and he was dreading having to tell his mum about the passport. Dave’s mum just shook her head when she heard what had happened.
“Never mind love”, she said, “There’s an online UK passport renewal service that will get you a replacement passport in a week. I’ll lend you the money and you’ll still be able to go away with your mates.”
Dave wasn’t sure that his mum was right but he went on the website anyway, and sure enough they promised to get an emergency passport to replace the one that had been stolen within a week. Dave was still a bit doubtful but went ahead and ordered the passport before he rang his mates. They didn’t go to the estate agent without him as they were all a bit down after what had happened. It was agreed that they would leave booking the holiday for another week. Dave couldn’t believe his luck when the UK passport renewal people were as good as their word and a week later he had his passport. When their plane eventually landed in Greece two months later, Dave sent a thank you text to the people who had got him another passport so easily and quickly.
