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

Black Coach wallet with red interior

I lost my black leather Coach wallet yesterday around 3pm near the Inner Harbor, outside the Rusty Scupper along the promenade by Harborplace. It's a slim bifold with a red interior and a tiny nick on the upper corner. Inside are my Maryland driver's license, two credit cards, and about $60 in cash, plus a small photo of my nephew tucked in one of the card slots. The back cover has a coffee stain and there’s a faint crease along the spine. It was a gift from my grandmother, so it feels irreplaceable and I’m really hoping someone honest picked it up and can return it to the Lost and Found. If you found it, I’d be forever grateful.

I lost a brown leather wallet with my initials 'J.T.' engraved on the front. I believe I dropped it while I was walking around the Inner Harbor area in Baltimore. It has several cards inside, along with some cash and a family photo that is really special to me. I'm devastated to have lost it, so if anyone finds it, please reach out.
