Re: replacement passports -

One thing about "issued in X" (other than US) passports, is that anything out of the ordinary with a passport can make life more challenging @ Immigrations around the world.

A family member had one issued in Stockholm, and I had a second one issued w/ endorsements due to visa/timing requirements and both of us get more than our fair share of questions @ immigrations, often coming into the US.

"Why was your passport issued in Stockholm? Was it ever recovered? Did you contact the police?. . ."
