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

Lost multicolored glasses with progressive lenses in green case

I lost my pair of glasses that had a multi-colored frame that is mostly red, with speckles of yellow, purple, blue, light green and has my most recent prescription in my progressive transitional lenses. I placed them in my soft light green leather sunglasses case and have exhausted all the stores and places I have been to since May 17th and am totally distraught as they were my favorite pair of glasses. If they are found, please contact Deb. I would be ever so gratefull!! Thank you!

Brown leather Coach wallet with photo

Hey, I lost my brown leather Coach wallet yesterday around 3pm near the Starbucks on 16th Street in downtown Bismarck. It's a compact bifold, about 4x3 inches, with a glossy finish and a small coffee stain on the back corner. Inside there's my driver's license, three cards, and about $25 cash. I also kept a tiny photo of my beagle Biscuit tucked into the money window, and the inside flap is embossed with my initials 'P.P.' on the left sleeve. The wallet was a gift from my grandmother, so it's really important to find it. If you found it, please email [email protected] so we can arrange pickup.

Black leather Fossil wallet with gold zipper

I lost my Fossil black leather wallet yesterday around 3pm near the State Capitol grounds on East Boulevard Ave in Bismarck. It's a slim wallet with a gold zipper and a small scuff along the bottom edge, plus a faint coffee stain on the back. Inside you'll find my driver's license, a couple of cards, and a tiny photo of my sister, plus a metal tag engraved with 'PR' in the card slot. Losing it is rough because the wallet was a gift from my grandmother, so if anyone found it, I’d really appreciate getting it back.

Dark brown leather keyring with two keys

I lost my dark brown leather keyring with two keys yesterday around 3pm near the Starbucks on Main Street in downtown Bismarck. It has a tiny brass owl charm and a blue enamel tag with the initials 'LM' that's peeling a bit. Attached are my apartment keys and my car key - just the daily set, not the spare. It's practical for my routines, and it carries sentimental value since my grandmother gave me the brass owl years ago. If anyone found it, please reach out - I'd be incredibly grateful to get it back.

Lost brown leather wallet with metal snap closure last seen at Riverfront Park.

The wallet is brown leather, a bit worn on the edges, and has a metal snap closure. It contains a few old cards and some cash. I last had it while sitting on a bench at Riverfront Park. If someone picked it up, it would mean a lot to me to have it back.
