Lost or stolen: Report a lost passport or wallet immediately to your nearest police station (call the Police Hotline on 999 for locations or browse their website to find a Report Room). Contact  your country’s consulate to organise a replacement passport. In case of lost or stolen wallets, be sure to keep a separate record of your credit card numbers in advance of your visit. Notify your card issuers immediately and check with your credit card issuer or insurance company for interim assistance. 

Electricity and voltage: Hong Kong’s standard voltage is 220 volts AC, 50Hz (with most hotel bathrooms also offering outlets for 100 volts). The city’s majority of electrical points take a three-pronged square plug (the same as the type used in the United Kingdom). Inexpensive adaptors are readily available from most convenience stores.
