Yes call all of your credit card and bank card companies right away. Banks are more important I think because CC liability is limited in many cases but I don't think debit is the same way.</p> <p>You can setup a credit freeze with all 3 credit bureaus (I think this is free) so no one can apply for new credit with your name. You could also setup credit monitoring but I believe that will cost you money.</p> <p>Good luck!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-lost-your-pursewallet#post-483921 Sun, 06 Jan 2013 13:25:25 +0000 JerricaBenton 483921@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Someone stole my wallet right out of my bag in Penn Station a couple of years ago. It sucked. It really felt like such an invasion, I lost a wallet that I loved, all the pictures I had in there, etc. </p> <p>My brother is forgetful and has left his wallet in a variety of places over the years. Quite a few times someone found it and dropped it off in our mailbox! Maybe since you just left it yesterday someone will return it to you! Actually- I just remembered my dad lost his wallet in Disney World once and somebody mailed it all the way back to NJ for us. There are still nice people out there! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-lost-your-pursewallet#post-483915 Sun, 06 Jan 2013 13:19:55 +0000 allison 483915@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh, and NEVER keep your SS# on your person/in your wallet! I learned that the hard way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-lost-your-pursewallet#post-483913 Sun, 06 Jan 2013 13:19:20 +0000 allison 483913@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not to be alarmist, but I had my purse stolen several years back. It had everything in it -- camera, ipod, wallet w/ cards, id (with SS#), ...everything. I ended up dealing with identity theft (actually still dealing with it 5 years later). Someone tried opening up credit accounts and filing taxes with my info. I had to put alerts on my credit files, file police reports, etc.</p> <p>Make sure you call and cancel those credit cards and call the 3 credit bureaus if you think your information could possibly be compromised! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-lost-your-pursewallet#post-483886 Sun, 06 Jan 2013 12:43:56 +0000 Springtime 483886@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. bird: oh man, I am glad I didn't lose my keys, they weren't in my purse. I would have to go through that too! But then again, if my keys would have been in my purse I would have gone back and looked for my purse because I wouldn't have been able to start my car! </p> <p>I know, I'm hoping it magically pops up! Lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-lost-your-pursewallet#post-483874 Sun, 06 Jan 2013 12:33:11 +0000 mrs. bird 483874@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>oh no!! i'm so sorry! i haven't lost my purse before, but once i had borrowed my mom's car and left mine in a parking garage, the next day it was time to get my car back and i could not find my keys!! i don't have a spare anymore because DH lost it &amp; our only front door key =/ so i called all these places trying to get a key made but i guess now keys have computer chips in them and you have to have your car reprogramed if you want to make a new key and it was going to be close to $1,000 for the car to be unlocked, a new set of my keys made (they have buttons to open &amp; close the back &amp; stuff, so not just plain ones), and the car reprogramed. i was soooo upset &amp; spent a few days looking for them. then i found them on top of the dryer under a stack of underwear i'd folded but hadn't put away yet =P doh! so i didn't have to have new ones done, but now they are ALWAYS attached to my purse =D </p> <p>i hope you find your bag somewhere stupid soon too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-lost-your-pursewallet#post-483839 Sun, 06 Jan 2013 12:18:22 +0000 Springtime 483839@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did this yesterday :( I am so upset, it makes me sick to my stomach. I guess I had left it at a restaurant we were eating at, I have called but they keep saying it's not there. I have been so scatter brained ever since giving birth, it's not good.</p> <p> I had everything in there! Debit cards, credit cards, license, insurance cards, checkbook, camera. Ugh, how I do even recover it all? Anyone have any experience with this. </p>
