Lost wallet or purse — immediate steps

The first moves to make when your wallet or purse goes missing — cards, ID, and protecting yourself from fraud.

A lost wallet or purse in Ann Arbor means two jobs at once: stopping fraud and replacing what's gone. The first hour matters most.

  1. Freeze your cards. Open each bank's app and freeze or cancel every debit and credit card. Most apps let you lock a card instantly and order a replacement.
  2. Check for unfamiliar activity. Review recent transactions and report anything you didn't make.
  3. Protect your identity. If ID was inside, take steps to guard against identity theft and consider a fraud alert or protective registration.
  4. Replace your ID and licence. Start replacements for your driver's licence or ID card through the relevant authority for your area.
  5. Retrace and report. Contact the last places you visited in Ann Arbor and report the loss to the police non-emergency line if it may have been stolen.
  6. Post a listing. Add a lost-wallet listing for Ann Arbor — many wallets are handed in and reunited this way.

Dark brown Coach wallet with blue edge stitching

I lost my dark brown leather Coach wallet yesterday around 3pm near the Starbucks on Main Street in downtown Ann Arbor. It's about the size of a standard billfold, with a small coffee stain on the back, a gold-foil Coach logo on the lower-right corner, and a thin blue thread along the edge. Inside is my driver's license, a couple of cards, and a tiny photo of my dog taped in the card slot. It has sentimental value—my mom gave it to me years ago—and I really need it back; if anyone found it, I’d be grateful to get it back.

Navy Ray-Ban Wayfarer sunglasses with A.J. initials

I lost my navy Ray-Ban Wayfarer sunglasses yesterday around 3pm outside the Michigan Union in Ann Arbor on State Street. They’re the classic Wayfarer shape with a matte navy frame, and the left lens has a small, noticeable scratch from a spill last week. Inside the right temple there’s a tiny engraving with the initials 'A.J.'—it's the only thing that helps me tell them apart. They were a gift from my grandmother and carry a lot of sentimental value, so I’m really hoping someone picked them up and kept them safe. If you found them, you can reply here or email me at [email protected].
