According to statistics released by the UK Identity and Passport Service, approximately 10,000 passports each year are possibly thrown away in the trash bins, with the same number lost in the bars and clubs. Men, according to the numbers are the worst culprits, often leaving their passports in their shirt or trouser pockets and then washing them, rendering them useless.
