Loosing your passport is a pain. Getting it replaced requires that you go plead an oath and have that oath notarized by a notary public or lawyer. Time and money but mostly time.

I found that damned thing a year later.

Yeah, but I think I would prefer that to giving a border guard an excuse...

Edit: or I guess it could accidentally go through the washer.

For sure.

I meant it more in that it’s not just “I lost it I need a new one” but your point is well taken.
