So - my passport was stolen and I went to the American Consulate to get a new passport.
There is another factor in the necessity to get a new passport as soon as possible and to report your passport stolen. To put it bluntly, it protects you.
Once a person discovers that a crime has been committed, in this case that a passport was stolen, by quickly reporting it I have cut off all personal responsibility for the matter. If I take the affirmative steps to report the passport stolen, and if the passport is used (or attempted to be used) in the future, I have done my part to protect myself. Likewise, if I do not report it stolen as soon as I discover that it was stolen, I am setting myself up for possible problems.
More on this later.
