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

Keys on blue lanyard with red paw charm

I lost my keys yesterday around 3pm near the ASU Bookstore on Rivers Street in Boone. They’re on a blue nylon lanyard with a small red enamel paw charm and a brass house key plus a silver car key fob. The lanyard is a bit frayed at the end, and one key is slightly bent from being in my pocket all week. It’s sentimental to me because it’s the key to my apartment and a few memories from visits with my grandma. I really need them back. If someone finds them, please DM me here or email [email protected].

Keys with blue bottle-opener keychain

I lost my keys yesterday around 3pm somewhere near the Mast General Store on King Street in downtown Boone. The set has two Yale house keys and a grey Toyota car key on a black leather fob. There’s a blue enamel bottle-opener keychain and a small red heart-shaped tag with the initials 'PP' on it. One Yale key has a tiny dent on the top corner from a fall last winter, and the whole bunch has sentimental value because it also includes my grandmother’s spare key; I really need them back to get into my apartment.

Brown Coach wallet with sentimental value

I lost my brown Coach wallet yesterday around 3pm near the Starbucks on Blowing Rock Road in Boone. It's a medium-sized, well-worn leather wallet with a small scratch on the bottom corner and a coin pocket. Inside are my driver's license, a few credit cards, and about $30 in cash. A tiny pressed maple leaf photo of my grandmother is tucked in the inner pocket, plus my initials 'PP' embossed on the inside card slot. It has sentimental value to me, and I'd really appreciate getting it back—I'll gladly meet at Mast General Store to pick it up.

Black matte Warby Parker glasses with silver hinges

I lost my black matte Warby Parker glasses yesterday around 3pm in downtown Boone, near the Mast General Store on King Street. They’re rectangular plastic frames with a subtle silver hinge and a tiny scratch on the left lens. Inside the right temple, the initials A.J. are engraved. They’re my everyday pair and I really need them back—they help me drive, read, and look presentable at work. It would mean a lot to me to get them back, especially since I’ve had them for a few years and they’ve become part of my routine. If anyone spotted them in that area or near the ASU library on Rivers Street, please reach out. I’d be incredibly grateful to get them back.
