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 St Augustine 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 St Augustine 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 St Augustine — many wallets are handed in and reunited this way.

Tortoiseshell Ray-Ban sunglasses with blue star sticker

Yesterday around 3pm I realized my tortoiseshell Ray-Ban sunglasses were missing. I was wandering around the Castillo de San Marcos area, near Cathedral Place and the Bridge of Lions, and later on St. George Street, so they could have slipped off during the crowds. They’re a standard size, tortoiseshell frame with black lenses, and there’s a tiny blue star sticker on the inside of the left temple plus a small scratch on the left lens from a fall last week. They’re sentimental to me because my grandmother gave them to me, and I really need them back. If you found them, please drop them at the Lost & Found near the Old Town Station or email me at [email protected].

Lost red leather wallet with unique stitching containing cards and cash near St Augustine Beach kiosks.

I lost my red leather wallet while walking along St Augustine Beach. It has some unique stitching on it, and I last remember having it when I stopped for an ice cream at one of the kiosks along the beach. There are a few cards inside along with some cash, and I'm really hoping to get it back because it was a gift from my grandmother.

I accidentally left my reading glasses on a bench near the historic Castillo de San Marcos while I was taking some photos. They are brown with a tortoise shell pattern and have my prescription. If found, I’d really appreciate getting them back since I can't read without them.

Lost black-rimmed prescription glasses with a small scratch on the left lens in a black protective case near St Augustine pier.

I was at the St Augustine pier yesterday enjoying the sunset when I realized I had misplaced my favorite black-rimmed glasses. They have a small scratch on the left lens and are in a black protective case. I retraced my steps multiple times, but unfortunately, I couldn’t find them. If anyone finds them, I would really appreciate getting them back as they are my prescription glasses.
