also his passport. If I understand correctly, he was distressed he can't get to Brasil for his next talk. Also future talks will also be affected. Imagine how bad it is to lose your passport in a foreign country. Instead of catching the flight next day you have a visit at the embassy and a lot of waiting.

(It's a common point of confusion, but one which might be useful to have straight if your passport ever gets stolen!)
