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

Brown Coach wallet with sentimental photo inside

I lost my brown leather wallet yesterday around 3pm outside the CVS on Broadway in Lexington. It’s a slim Coach wallet with a tan interior, about the size of a credit card holder, and it has a small brass 'C' emblem on the bottom corner. Inside are my driver's license, two credit cards, and about $60 in cash. The back pocket has a faint coffee stain and a tiny photo my sister gave me tucked in the card slots—really sentimental. If anyone found it, I’d be so grateful to get it back; it means a lot to me.

Black Warby Parker glasses with gold hinges

I was leaving the Starbucks on Limestone Street near UK's campus yesterday around 3pm when my glasses slipped off. They're black rectangular Warby Parker frames with gold hinges; inside the left temple there’s a tiny 'WP' engraving and the left lens has a small scratch. They’re a sentimental keepsake—my grandmother gave them to me, so I really need them back. If anyone found them, I’d be grateful to meet by the coffee shop again or at the corner of Limestone and Avenue of Champions to pick them up.

Blue lanyard keys with compass charm

I lost my keys yesterday around 3pm near the UK campus on Rose Street, just outside the Student Center in Lexington. It’s a small blue fabric lanyard with a round brass compass charm, plus two metal house keys and a Toyota car key fob that has a tiny panda sticker on the back. One of the keys has a heart-shaped cutout in the head. The set includes the key to my grandmother’s house, which makes it extra sentimental and I really need it back so I can get back into my apartment. If someone found them, I’d appreciate getting them back and I can meet up in a safe public spot in Lexington, like Cheapside Park, to pick up.
