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

Black Ray-Ban Wayfarer glasses with case

I lost my black Ray-Ban Wayfarer-style glasses yesterday around 3pm outside Caffè Gilli on Via dei Calzaiuoli, just a few steps from the Duomo. They’re black matte acetate with a slim silver Ray-Ban logo on the outside of the right temple. The left lens has a tiny scratch from a fall last week, and the frame shows light wear from daily use; I always keep them in a black leather zip case with a red lining. These are my everyday prescription glasses, and they have sentimental value because my grandmother gave me a similar pair years ago and I’ve worn them every day since. If someone happened to find them, I’d really appreciate getting them back.

Lost black sunglasses with a subtle scratch on the left lens and a silver emblem on the side near the Duomo area, Florence, SC.

I lost my favorite black sunglasses while walking around the Duomo area in Florence yesterday afternoon. They have a subtle scratch on the left lens and a silver emblem on the side. I think I left them on a bench while taking some photos. If anyone finds them, I would really appreciate getting them back!
