Lost your ID ? (Canadian)

[Kerryd]

Friend of mine found some ID (Canadian Passport and Quebec Driver's license) on the Railway Bypass road near the Khao Talo crossing.

Luc Gagnon from Terrebonne, Quebec.

Contact me and I'll put you in touch with the guy who has it.

Take it to the police station, that's where he will probably check

I was thinking of going to Immigration. They should be able to run the name and come up with a phone number/address.

(Have to check his stamps first - in case there's a reason that ID was "lost". The passport is valid but buddy only posted a shiny pic of the face page and cut the passport number off.)

I would contact the Canadian embassy.

He will be calling them for sure for an emergency passport.

Message sent. C-r-a-p - it's Saturday and they are closed until Monday. I'll try their phone number just in case.

Called them and sure enough - automated menu and recorded message.

Left them a message but unless someone there is really pro-active (lol - gov't employees so not likely) I probably won't get a response until Monday.

I suspect he won't go to a police station as he probably wouldn't know where one is, probably wouldn't trust them and if he's read ThaiVisa at all, would worry that he'd be arrested for not having a passport.

(My Thai friends are usually adamant that one never contacts the police unless it's a dire emergency.)

And as I have no idea what the guy's Visa status is, it might not be a good idea to go to the police anyways.

(Maybe there was a police check on the Railway bypass road last night, being Friday and such, and the guy tossed his ID in case he was stopped, thinking he'd come back for it later.)

Who knows how it ended up on the side of the road. 

Couple weeks ago I pulled up at a friend's shop on my Harley. Put the kickstand down, leaned the bike over - and my phone fell to the ground. Swung my leg over the seat - and my wallet fell on the other side.
(Needless to say, never wearing those pants on a motorcycle again. Straight into the rag bin when I got home !)

Why would anyone do that, even if he was on overstay or whatever. Tossing the passport, doesn't serve any purpose
