Unite 19.2 Four crimes
Person 1
Are you OK?That looked pretty nasty!
Just about.I suppose!Thanks a lot of helping me!
Listen,what do you think I could've done?
I would've helped if I'd been able to,
but there were five of them...and they had a knife!
Don't tell me about it!I know!they were holding it against my throat.
Well,at least you're OK.That's the main thing,isn't it?
I suppose so.Did they get away with much?Yeah,everything!
They took my watch,my wallet with all my credit cards and cash cards in.
about three hundred pounds' worth of cash.The lot!
So you'd better make sure you cancel the cards pretty soon.then.
Yeah.I'd better do that now.
Do you know if there's a phone near here I can use?
Yeah.there's public phone box just round the corner.
Right.I suppose I'd better report it all to the police as well.
Would you mind if I gave your name as a witness?
A witness?Ah.well...um...the thing is.you see.
I don't want to get involved,really.so...um...well.you know how it is.
Oh,thanks a lot!I hope I can do the same for you one day!
Person 2
Hi,Rachel.how're you?
Don't ask,I've had a terrible morning!
Oh,no?What happened?It's my car!
I came out of the house this morning and the back window had been smashed.
Oh,no.That's awful.What were they after?The car stereo?
Yeah,I guess that might've been it,because they did take that.
It would've been OK if that'd been all they got,
but they got away with my handbag too.
I'd somehow stupidly managed to leave it on the back seat.
Oh,no!Was there much in it?
No.not really,but there was a spare set of keys in there,and my home address.
God!That wasn't a very sensible place to leave them!I know!I know!
I was so worried that they'd come round and burgle my flat
that I called in a locksmith and got my locks changed this morning.
It cost me a fortune.I bet it did!
Oh,well.you won't be making that mistake again.will you!
