British Prime Minister David Cameron,who once left his daughter at a pub,apparently forgot his crucial red box with top security paperwork on a train over the weekend,media reports said Monday.
A front-page photo in the Daily Mirror showed the box on the train table with its key in the lock,clicked by a fellow passenger while Cameron was in another part of the train. It was just sitting there. I could probably have run off with it if Id wanted to, the passenger told the newspaper.
However,Downing Street has since insisted there was no security breach and that the box was being watched by the Prime Ministers security at all times.
The photograph of the seemingly unattended box marked Prime Minister was taken on Saturday on a train from Kings Cross station in London to York,where Cameron attended his sister-in-laws wedding.
Cameron has been known for his absent-mindedness ever since he left his eight-year-old daughter Nancy at a pub near his country home in Chequers after lunch last year following confusion over which car she was travelling in.
