That'll teach Canadians from coming to America!
Yeah, there are no reassuring words. These are very annoying and extremely anal people that you're about to meet and ask for help from. Good luck. You're gonna need it. Crap days ahead of you, friend.
There really is some good news though. I saved a bunch of money on my car insurance by switching to Geico.

NetMapel, are you back in Vancouver or are you still in LA? I assume you're in Vancouver, since no sane person would ask a forum full of low-lifes on the internet for advice when you can just ask someone at the airport.

Still no clue why she's posting here, of all places. Since no one's really helping:

You have nothing to worry about; just stay calm and let the authorities do their job. You'll get a temporary replacement (if yours isn't found).

I lost a set of keys in a Seattle Airport once. I had them returned to me on my return flight through the airport (one week later) It was a friggen miracle.

Right, except that every response wasn't comforting nor helpful at all. Like I said, low-lifes on the internet.

Are you why the terror alert went up, this past week?

My main recommendation to you would be, assuming you are either a Canadian or American citizen, from now on, use your drivers license and birth certificate to cross the border between the two countries every time. Now that you've lost your passport, even when you get a new one, your passport will be marked as previously stolen, and they will always give you a hard time at immigration. In fact, for Canadian and American citizens, I wouldn't ever use a Passport to cross between the two countries... it just raises suspicion I think ("Oh, so you travel a lot?...").
I work at the Passport Office here in Newfoundland.. good luck. 
Retrieving a new passport requires a re-application as well as the signing of another document under oath. Please tell me you travel with your birth certificate & photo identification (drivers license or other document issued provincially/federally with your signature on it)..

According to Tom Hanks and ilk, I feel as thought we can all come to a consensus concerning your unfortunate situation and thus, recommend that you watch "The Terminal". Yours will be a riveting tale of a foreigners misfortune, during a time where nations security is at its utmost sensitivity. Thanks to an increased awareness concerning the possibility of future terrorist threats, youll find the accommodations at LAX to be quite . the hospitable environment.NetMapel said:
But not to worry, kindness from strangers, food surplus from storage bins, and self-determination will lead you to your soul mate, a fantastic airport job, and perhaps even a movie deal exploiting your trials and tribulations. Be strong and stay optimistic!
Asides from that crappy bit of humor, good luck with retrieving your passport and hopefully all goes well with you
I'm still at LA and will be returning within a week. I have no idea if the Canadian Consulate will be able to do something to get me back to Canada within such a short amount of time. I just hope I just misplaced little hand bag with my passport in it and is not unknowingly robbed by some clever thief.
