Look closer at this phrase
畀人偷咗 (bei2 jan4 tau1 zo2) says another person stole it; 銀包 (ngan4 baau1) names the wallet. This wording asserts theft, so it differs from saying the wallet is merely missing.
The number after each Jyutping syllable marks its Cantonese tone. Listen to the whole saved recording and repeat at your own pace.
When to use it
Use this only when you believe the wallet was stolen; use the lost-item line when you do not know what happened.
