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 Rhode Island 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 Rhode Island 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 Rhode Island — many wallets are handed in and reunited this way.

Black Mazda key fob with red tag

I lost my black Mazda car key with the fob yesterday around 3pm near Providence Place Mall on Westminster Street in Providence, RI. The ring also has a condo key with a small dent on the bow and a standard house key with a blue plastic head. A bright red silicone tag with the initials AH hangs from the ring, and the fob has a faint white scratch along the bottom edge. This set is essential—it's the only way I access my apartment and the car, so I’d really appreciate getting it back if you found them.

Yesterday around 3pm I lost my dark brown Fossil bifold wallet near the Providence Place Mall on Westminster Street in Providence, Rhode Island. It has a brass owl charm hanging from the zipper pull and a bright blue inner pocket where I keep a few extra cards.
