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

Brown bifold wallet with blue lining and initials A.S.

I lost my brown leather bifold wallet yesterday around 3pm near the Riverwalk, outside the Starbucks on Douglas Ave in Wichita. It's a brown wallet with a slightly worn corner, a coffee stain on the back, and a blue interior lining that has faded over the years. Inside are my driver's license, a few cards, and about $25, plus there's a small gold embossing with the initials 'A.S.' on the front. This wallet is sentimental—it's a gift from my grandmother, and I really need it back.

Dark brown Fossil wallet with red stitching

I lost my dark brown Fossil leather wallet yesterday around 3pm. It's a slim bi-fold with red stitching along the inner spine, a small scuff on the bottom corner, and a coin pocket that's a tad stretched. Inside I have my driver's license, a couple of loyalty cards, and a photo of my kid tucked behind the ID card. I last had it outside the downtown Wichita Public Library on Main Street near the fountain. It would mean a lot to get it back; it has sentimental value.

Black Fossil leather wallet with initials S.T.

I lost my black Fossil leather wallet yesterday around 3pm near the Starbucks on Douglas Ave in Old Town Wichita. It's a slim bifold, about the size of a standard credit card holder, with pebbled leather and a tiny scratch along the bottom edge. Inside you’ll find my driver's license, two credit cards, a few loyalty cards, and about $25 cash. The wallet has a couple identifying marks: a faded coffee stain on the back corner and an embossed 'S.T.' on the inner card slot. This wallet was a graduation gift from my dad, and it means a lot to me; I’d be really grateful to get it back if someone found it.

I think I lost my hand-carved wooden keychain at the Wichita Farmers Market last Saturday. It has a small owl engraved on it and was a gift from my grandmother. I was busy shopping and may have dropped it while I was leaving. It has sentimental value, and I really hope to get it back!
