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 Potsdam-Canton-Massena 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 Potsdam-Canton-Massena 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 Potsdam-Canton-Massena — many wallets are handed in and reunited this way.

Black Ray-Ban style glasses with engraving

I lost my black Ray-Ban style glasses yesterday around 3pm outside Clarkson University student center on Market Street in Potsdam. They’re square-ish plastic frames with a glossy finish, and there’s a tiny scratch on the upper rim of the right temple. Inside the left temple sits engraved initials 'KM'. I came with a gray microfiber sleeve, and there’s a small campus logo sticker on the sleeve. I really need them back—these are my daily glasses for reading and driving, and I’ve worn them since last fall. If anyone finds them, I’d be grateful to get them back; I can meet you near the student center or at the bookstore.

Brass keys on red lanyard lost near library

I lost my brass house keys yesterday around 3pm near the Potsdam Public Library on Park Street, in Potsdam-Canton-Massena. They’re on a red woven lanyard, a bit frayed at the ends. The set includes four keys: a Schlage front-door key, a Yale deadbolt, a small brass skeleton key, and a USB key with a peeling white label. One key has a blue plastic head that’s cracked, and there’s a tiny brass tag engraved 'Milo' hanging from the lanyard. The brass is a bit dull and the whole thing shows some wear. This set is essential to me and has sentimental value; I really need to get it back. If anyone found them, please reach out to me.
