Could you describe the case and its contents?

Policeman: Добрий день! Чим я можу Вам допомогти?

Foreigner: I can't speak Ukrainian. I can only speak English. Can you understand me?

Policeman: Yes, I can. I can speak some English. What can I do for you?

Foreigner: My case has been stolen.

Policeman: When and where did this happen?

Foreigner: In the station, just after I came on the train. It was about half past two.

Policeman: Could you describe briefly what happened?

Foreigner: I got off the train and went over to a newspaper kiosk with the case in my hand. I put down the case while I was buying a map. When I had paid for it, I bent down to pick up my case, but it had gone.

Policeman: Did you see anyone who might have taken it?

Foreigner: There were a lot of people at the kiosk. But I didn't see anyone who looked like someone who would steal my case. No, I didn't see the thief.

Policeman: Come in and sit down. We’ll have to fill in a charge- sheet. So you didn’t see the thief.

Foreigner: No, I'm afraid not. I have no idea who could have stolen my case.

Policeman: May I see your passport?

Foreigner: Certainly. Here it is.

Policeman: Thank you. What is your marital status and your occupation – your job, you know?

Foreigner: I'm single. I'm a sales manager in a big English company.

Policeman: What is your home address?

Foreigner: 2 Acacia Drive, Beverley, London.

Policeman: Can we contact you here in Ukraine over the next few days?

Foreigner: I'll be staying in hotel “Dnipro” here in Kyiv over the next three weeks. Then I'll be going straight home. Luckily I still have my money and my credit cards.

Policeman: Could you describe the case and its contents?

Foreigner: It was a light brown leather suitcase - nothing very special. There were towels, underwear, toiletries, shirts, two pairs of shoes and three pairs of trousers in it.

Policeman: How much was the case worth - including the contents?

Foreigner: Oh, I think ... it must have been worth about 300 Euro.

Policeman: You have the right to be informed when the case has been closed. Even if you renounce this right, you will, of course, be informed if and when the thief is found.

Foreigner: O.K. Well then, you needn't inform me when the case has been closed.

Policeman: I’ll translate the charge-sheet for you again. Would you please sign it here? ... Thank you.

Foreigner: Could you give me a certificate for my insurance company?

Policeman: Yes, certainly. I’ll fill in a form called „Довідка”. You can give this form to your insurance company. I think that’s everything. I hope you’ll enjoy the rest of your stay. Good bye.

Foreigner: Good bye and thank you very much.
