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 Roswell / Carlsbad 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 Roswell / Carlsbad 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 Roswell / Carlsbad — many wallets are handed in and reunited this way.

Ray-Ban Wayfarer sunglasses, tortoiseshell with initials

I lost my Ray-Ban Wayfarer sunglasses, tortoiseshell, standard fit. They're a little scratched on the left lens and have 'JL' engraved on the inside of the right temple. I was wearing them yesterday around 3pm after leaving the Roswell Plaza Coffee on Main Street in Roswell, NM. I last saw them near the fountain by City Hall before heading toward Main Street. They mean a lot to me; they were a gift from my aunt and carry sentimental value. If you’ve found them, please drop me a note here or email [email protected].

Black rectangular glasses with tortoiseshell temples

I lost my black rectangular glasses with tortoiseshell temples yesterday around 3pm near the Roswell Museum & Art Center on Main Street. They're lightweight plastic frames, a little small, with a tiny scratch on the right lens and a red sticker inside the left temple that says 'AM-12'. They came with a blue microfiber sleeve and a worn black zipper case. It has sentimental value—these were a gift from my sister—and I really need them back. If you found them, drop me a message through the app so we can meet up near the Roswell Public Library.
