In a sentence

さいふ財布walletなくしましたlost

I lost my wallet

How it works

(object) marks 財布さいふ (wallet) as the thing that was lost. The verb なくす (lose) is built up in two steps: first the polite ます (polite) layer, then shifted to past for なくしました (lost (polite)). Ending in ました (polite past) keeps the report respectful, fitting when reporting trouble to staff.
