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 Austin 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 Austin 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 Austin — many wallets are handed in and reunited this way.

Ray-Ban prescription glasses lost in Austin

My husband lost his Ray-Ban glasses a few weeks ago somewhere around Central Austin (or possibly elsewhere in Austin — he’s not exactly sure when he noticed they were missing). They’re prescription glasses, and this particular model is hard to replace. So he’s been struggling a bit — lots of squinting 🙈 We’d be really grateful if they turn up. A tasty treat of your choice is on us as a thank-you!

Ray-Ban Wayfarer-style glasses, matte black

I lost my Ray-Ban Wayfarer-style glasses yesterday around 3pm outside Guero's Taco Bar on South Congress Ave in Austin. They’re matte black plastic frames, medium fit, with a small scratch along the bottom edge of the left lens and a tiny chip near the nose pad. Inside the left temple there’s a tiny engraving P.P. that I added years ago, which is one of the few distinguishing marks. The glasses were a gift from my mom last year and I really need them back for work and driving. If anyone found them, I’d be endlessly grateful to get them back; this has sentimental value and I’m worried about my vision without them.

Tan leather wallet with Coach logo and IDs inside

I lost my tan leather Coach wallet yesterday around 3pm outside the Starbucks on Guadalupe Street by the UT campus in Austin. It's about the size of a standard cardholder, with a slightly worn exterior and the Coach emblem on the front. Inside are my driver's license, two credit cards, my student ID, and about $25 in cash. There's a small coffee stain on the back corner and a tiny heart-shaped mark on the inside pocket from a friend who borrowed it once. This wallet means a lot to me—it's a gift from my grandma and holds sentimental value; I’m really hoping someone who picked it up can return it. If you found it, I’d be grateful for its return.
