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 New Orleans 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 New Orleans 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 New Orleans — many wallets are handed in and reunited this way.

Red carabiner keyring with brass tag

I lost my keys, a red aluminum carabiner keyring with a brass tag, yesterday around 6pm near Cafe Du Monde on Decatur Street in the French Quarter. It has two worn house keys, a mailbox key, and a tiny silver bottle opener, plus a small green enamel leaf charm that makes it easy to spot. The carabiner is bright red and a bit scuffed from daily use. This set means a lot to me; it's connected to my grandmother's cottage key, so I'm really hoping someone who picked it up will return it. If you see it, I'm reachable at [email protected].

Brass house keys on black leather keychain

I lost my brass house keys on a black leather keychain yesterday around 3pm outside Café Du Monde on Decatur Street near Jackson Square in New Orleans. The set sits on a black leather keychain with two metal keys; one has a red plastic cap and the other is plain, but there’s a small brass saxophone charm on the loop. The keychain is a bit worn and has a tiny dent from a fall last winter. It has sentimental value—it's the key to my apartment and my bike lock, and it was a gift from my mom. I’d really appreciate getting it back; I’m hoping someone picked it up or handed it in nearby.
