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

Blue Ray-Ban Wayfarer glasses with etched temple tips

I lost my blue Ray-Ban Wayfarer glasses yesterday around 3pm. I was outside Boxcar Coffee Roasters on Pearl Street Mall in Boulder, right near the Boulder Creek path, when I must have set them down and walked away. They’re blue plastic Wayfarers, in decent shape, with etched temple tips. Inside the left temple there’s a tiny lightning bolt engraving and my initials 'PP' on the right hinge. There’s a light scratch on the left lens from a bike ride later that day. These prescription glasses are essential for me—they were a gift from my mom, so they mean a lot. If anyone found them, please reach out; I’d really appreciate getting them back.

Black acetate glasses with gold hinges

I lost my black acetate Warby Parker glasses yesterday around 3pm near the Pearl Street Mall, by The Laughing Goat cafe. They're black with gold hinges, round-ish lenses, and they feel surprisingly lightweight. Inside the right temple, there's a tiny 'WP' engraving and a faint scratch along the bottom rim. They came with a black leather case with a red lining, which I must have left on the bench at the cafe. I really need them back—they help me read notes in class, and I can't afford a new pair right now.

Lost black rectangular glasses with a slight scratch on the left lens in a hard 'ACME' case while hiking at the Flatirons.

I lost my black rectangular glasses while hiking at the Flatirons last weekend. They have a slight scratch on the left lens and are in a hard case that says 'ACME'. I truly hope to get them back as they were a birthday gift!
