Like the US, the UK has citizens applying to replace a lost passport fill out a questionnaire explaining exactly what happened to the missing document.<\/p>\n<p>According to the statistics, one of the most common ways to lose a passport in the UK is to accidentally throw it away, according to a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/news\/uk-13164006\" target=\"_blank\">BBC write up<\/a> of the study.  About 10,000 passports a year are taken out with the trash.  Bars and clubs are the other major culprits.  As you might expect, people in their 20&#8217;s seem to be the most prone to these types of accidents: 42.8% of the people who applied to replace a lost passport last year were in that age group.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the BBC also collected a  list of some of the more unusual explanations people gave for their lost passports. Check it out:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<blockquote>\n<li>Taxi attacked by gunman on way to airport in Brazil<\/li>\n<li>Fell out of bag while snowboarding<\/li>\n<li>Drunk boyfriend (now ex) destroyed it<\/li>\n<li>Last seen in pocket of a coat donated to tramp<\/li>\n<li>Wallet stolen at children&#8217;s party with passport inside<\/li>\n<li>Passports stored in safe in Turkish villa, thieves stole safe<\/li>\n<li>Put in bin by infant daughter; and<\/li>\n<li>Put on a fire with clothes<\/li>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/ul>\n<p>No matter what happened to your passport, RushMyPassport can help you get it replaced quickly.
