Thank you for all the answers.
Someone said A sounds like I asked someone to intentionally steal my wallet. Do you agree?

@Tanaka Context matters, no one would think that way if you just said that to them. This is just overthinking things.

@Tanaka had can be defined as having experienced or undergoing something

You experienced the theft of your wallet> you had your wallet stolen

@MartinTheFirst OK. Thank you for elaborating.
