Attaché Case Hypothesis (1.2)

B’s step-dad was on a trip when someone stole his new attaché case. When B’s mum asked where he left it, he was pretty upset. Told her some cock and bull story about leaving it in the left hand luggage. When he got back to pick it up, the attaché case was gone. - He was still shaking his head and saying life was full of injustice when they phoned from the airport to say sorry, his attaché case hadn’t showed up.

B could understand. If someone took his attaché case, he would have felt the same.
