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 East Oregon means two jobs at once: stopping fraud and replacing what's gone. The first hour matters most.

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.
Check for unfamiliar activity. Review recent transactions and report anything you didn't make.
Protect your identity. If ID was inside, take steps to guard against identity theft and consider a fraud alert or protective registration.
Replace your ID and licence. Start replacements for your driver's licence or ID card through the relevant authority for your area.
Retrace and report. Contact the last places you visited in East Oregon and report the loss to the police non-emergency line if it may have been stolen.
Post a listing. Add a lost-wallet listing for East Oregon — many wallets are handed in and reunited this way.

Dark brown bifold wallet with coffee stain

I lost my dark brown bifold wallet yesterday around 3pm near Riverside Market on Main Street in East Oregon. It's a slim leather wallet with wear along the edges and a coffee stain on the back. Inside are my driver's license, a couple of bank cards, and about $60 in cash. There's a tiny scratch on the inner lining where I keep a photo of my niece—it's sentimental and not replaceable. If anyone found it, I'd really appreciate being connected so I can get it back and thank you.
