“I never seem to have anything that if I lost it I’d care too much about.”
Holden says this while he is talking about a pair of gloves that were stolen from him at Pencey. He really doesn’t seem to care about many of his belongings. When Holden left Pencey in the middle of the night he sold his type writer for very cheap to a boy who had borrowed it from down the hall. Instead of going to get it he just decided to sell it. Also, this is an example of how Holden is mostly talk and no action. He admits himself that if he caught the guy who had stolen his gloves he probably wouldn’t do anything about it.
