意思
Reporting a missing personal item.
文化背景
Losing a wallet is a major headache due to the 'CCCD' (ID card). People will often post on local Facebook groups to find it. The word 'bóp' is much more common than 'ví' in daily conversation in Saigon and the Mekong Delta. The phrase 'của đi thay người' is often said to someone who lost their wallet to suggest that the material loss prevented a physical injury. Reporting a lost wallet to the police (Công an) is mandatory if you want to get your ID cards reissued.
Use 'rồi'
Adding 'rồi' at the end ('Tôi bị mất ví rồi') makes you sound much more like a native speaker.
Don't say 'được'
Never use 'được' with 'mất ví' unless you are being extremely sarcastic.

The 'Của đi thay người' response
If someone says this to you, just nod and say 'Vâng' or 'Cảm ơn'. It's their way of being kind.
