All good, except #3 should be "lose", not "loose" (don't worry, it's a common error made by English speakers, unfortunately...)

Yes. The first sentence is incorrect and the third would benefit from the suggestion made by #Gabriel

The third sentence sounds a bit awkward to me. Because it's so obviously referring to a completed action in the past, I'd use the past perfect, like so: "If you had been more vigilant while carrying that precious wallet, you wouldn't have lost it."
