and so i um and so i didn't look around straight away when i dropped it <[1>yeah <[2>mm mm and then when he left i turned round and looked on the ground word and sort of realised that my wallet wasn't in my hand and just looked everywhere and i couldn't find it and so i searched ALL my bag and i still couldn't find it and i thought you know this is strange mm where could it have gone it was nowhere <{1><[1>at the issue desk and then um went home rang the library told them what had happened and they said no no noone's handed it in and ten minutes later they <&>4:00 rang back and said that someone had handed in the wallet and it still <.>had the money had gone cos i had forty dollars in there <{2><[2>which robin gave me to pay for the car and then um tut i um <.>had but they had left all the

phone and just writing something you know straight away and then <{><[>take what they wanted dropped in the loo walked out and that was it <[>yeah was it in the toilet <&>7:00 that's where they found it where the person said they'd found it in the <{><[>actual toilet <[>and handed it in i don't know well i guess so i don't <{><[>know whether they mean in the cubicle or whether they mean <[>ugh oh
