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

Keyring with car and house keys, brass tag

I lost my black leather keyring with a brass dog-tag key fob yesterday around 3pm near the Liberty Bell Center on Market Street in Philadelphia. It has two silver keys—one for my apartment and one for my car—and a small red USB drive attached. The brass tag has a tiny dent and the leather is scuffed, but the whole thing is still sturdy. This item is sentimental to me—it's a gift from my mom and I'm really hoping to get it back.
