The same trip that DH lost his wedding band. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-largest-amount-of-money-youve-ever-lost#post-1179861 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 15:53:24 +0000 Kimberlybee 1179861@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@banana: @Rainbow Sprinkles: oh no! I can relate because this happened to me recently. I was so sad and am still sad.<br /> I think my purse was slightly unzipped, it fell over, and I didn't notice anything fall out until I got home. I lost an expensive wrislet that I used as a wallet and makeup bag with $250 in gift cards from my babyshower and $100 in cash in it and also lost one of my favorite point &amp; shoot cameras. Luckily, I didn't have any credit cards in there. I followed up with the restaurant where I lost it 4 days in row to see if anyone turned it in but nothing turned up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-largest-amount-of-money-youve-ever-lost#post-1179846 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 15:49:16 +0000 sunny 1179846@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yoursilverlining: I was just going to say... Any cash losses don't compare to the whipping my investment accounts have taken at various times. Most were paper losses but I've had some booked losses too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-largest-amount-of-money-youve-ever-lost#post-1179839 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 15:47:10 +0000 Reese 1179839@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>About $3500 ... Someone made a bunch of charges on my CC - they ended up crediting me the $$ back though.. no hassle. So I guess I didn't really *lose* it </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-largest-amount-of-money-youve-ever-lost#post-1179832 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 15:42:23 +0000 kiddosc 1179832@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had my purse/debit card stolen and they cleaned out my bank account right after I'd deposited my paycheck, so right around $1000. I got it refunded by the bank a couple weeks later though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-largest-amount-of-money-youve-ever-lost#post-1179828 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 15:40:57 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1179828@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I lost a check... I don't remember right now how much it was for and I know that I did get it reissued - I think it about like $700?? Thankfully they reissued it!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-largest-amount-of-money-youve-ever-lost#post-1179823 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 15:38:32 +0000 Trailmix 1179823@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had $600 stolen out of my pocket in London. I had taken out all the money I thought I would need for my week-long trip there and right after I used the ATM, I stopped at a pub with my friends for one beer and when I got home, my money was gone. I'm still pissed about it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-largest-amount-of-money-youve-ever-lost#post-1179786 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 15:24:37 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 1179786@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>$400 in gift cards and $200 cash in a $100 wallet AND my cell phone...all at once. I was a sophomore in college. It was horrible. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-largest-amount-of-money-youve-ever-lost#post-1179783 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 15:23:16 +0000 mrsjyw 1179783@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>$200 while visiting family in Korea during college. During Christmastime, carelessly left my wallet out in a fast food place and it was gone by the time we went back.</p> <p>A coach wallet too! ANNNND it had my green card. :/ So in essence, a lot more than the $200 in cash. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-largest-amount-of-money-youve-ever-lost#post-1164299 Mon, 21 Oct 2013 17:26:49 +0000 yoursilverlining 1164299@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Are we counting our 401k balances over the last few years? ;-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-largest-amount-of-money-youve-ever-lost#post-1164219 Mon, 21 Oct 2013 16:28:25 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1164219@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@banana: ha!

And she keeps following her around the casino. I've actually seen these types of lurkers before. Where they try to find a slot machine that hasn't paid out in a while and they quickly steal that machine before someone else does! UGH. Lurkers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-largest-amount-of-money-youve-ever-lost#post-1164195 Mon, 21 Oct 2013 16:18:50 +0000 Mae 1164195@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pui: Mostly I was just happy that I have a very kind and understanding husband who did not get upset when I told him what I'd done (he just suggested that if I insist on preparing for the zombie apocalypse by keeping cash in the house, he'd suggest our fire box.
