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

Black Ray-Ban Wayfarer glasses with initials PK

I lost my black Ray-Ban Wayfarer glasses yesterday around 3pm outside the CVS on Main Street near the Courthouse in downtown Hattiesburg. They're matte black plastic frames, rectangular lenses, about medium size, with a tiny chip in the upper left lens and a silver accent on the hinge. I also have my initials "PK" etched on the inside of the right temple, which is a pretty easy identifier if you check. They came with a gray microfiber pouch tucked in the case. I really need them back—they’re my daily pair and I can’t manage reading without them. If you found them, please message me here and we can arrange a pick-up near the Courthouse or USM area.

Lost set of keys with a bright blue and yellow keyring featuring a small guitar-shaped charm near the campus of Southern Mississippi in Hattiesburg.

I lost my keys on Thursday afternoon while walking around the campus of Southern Mississippi here in Hattiesburg. The set includes multiple keys and has a bright blue and yellow keyring attached that has a small charm shaped like a guitar. If anyone finds them, I would greatly appreciate having them back as they have my car key and house key on them.
