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 Utica-Rome-Oneida 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 Utica-Rome-Oneida 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 Utica-Rome-Oneida — many wallets are handed in and reunited this way.

Black rectangular glasses with blue temples, AL engraving

I lost my black Ray-Ban rectangular glasses with blue temple tips yesterday around 3pm outside the Utica Public Library on Genesee Street. They're a slim black metal frame with blue plastic ends on the temples, and there's a small scratch on the lower right lens. Inside the left temple is engraved the initials 'AL'. They were a gift from my grandmother, and I really need them back for work and driving. If anyone found them, please message me—I’d be incredibly grateful to get them back.

Burgundy Fossil wallet with photo inside

I lost my burgundy Fossil bifold yesterday around 3pm outside the Stanley Theater on Genesee Street in Utica. It's palm-sized with slightly worn corners and a small coffee stain along the inner edge, and the navy lining has a bit of wrinkling from use. Inside there's a laminated photo of my grandma tucked into the ID window, which makes it feel really sentimental to me. If anyone found it, please reach out — I really need it back.

Lost black leather passport holder containing passport, travel cards, and contact information near picnic area at Griffith Park.

I accidentally left my black leather passport holder at the picnic area near Griffith Park while enjoying a day out with friends. It has my passport, some travel cards, and my contact information inside. I can't believe I lost it and I'm desperately hoping someone found it and can help me get it back.
