You don't own a passport. It is the property of the issuing country.

My sister had a rather unusual passport. She got hers lifted while
visiting Prague, so she had to go to the American Embassy, and get a new
one issued,

so what so unusual about that. Tourists are losing passports all the time
abroad and the Consular Services have to issue replacement passports
frequently.
