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

Black-rimmed reading glasses with blue temple tips

I lost my black-rimmed reading glasses yesterday around 3pm near the Peace Gardens outside the Cathedral in Sheffield City Centre. They're lightweight black acetate frames with blue temple tips; the lenses have a tiny scratch on the left lens. They were a gift from my mum and I wear them every day, so I can't drive or read menus without them — it really stresses me out to be without them. If anyone found them, drop me a message here — I’d really appreciate getting them back.

Black tortoiseshell Ray-Ban Wayfarer glasses

I lost my black-tortoiseshell Ray-Ban Wayfarer glasses yesterday around 3pm near the Peace Gardens by the Winter Garden in Sheffield. The frames are black with a thin tortoiseshell edge, and the inside of the right temple has a tiny 'AM' engraving. They usually sit in a soft black case with a red lining, and there’s a faint scratch on the left lens. These were a gift from my grandma and I really need them back; I use them for work and I miss them a lot.
