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 Zanesville / Cambridge 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 Zanesville / Cambridge 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 Zanesville / Cambridge — many wallets are handed in and reunited this way.

Brown leather wallet with ID and family photo

I lost my brown leather wallet yesterday around 3pm near the Cambridge Market on Market Street. It's about 4 inches by 3 inches, slightly worn, with tan stitching and a small coin pocket. There's a creased photo of my grandmother tucked inside, and a faint coffee stain on the back. It also contains my driver's license and a couple of loyalty cards, plus about $25 cash. The wallet has sentimental value to me and I really need it back. If you found it, please reach out—I can describe the photo and the wallet's unique scuff on the top edge to confirm it's mine.

Black leather wallet with gold trim, lost near Y-Bridge

I lost my black leather bifold wallet yesterday around 3pm near the Y-Bridge on Market Street in Zanesville. It's a compact wallet, genuine black pebbled leather with a small gold keyring inside and a blue lining. There's a faint coffee stain on the bottom edge and a tiny scratch on the left corner. Inside I keep my driver's license, a couple of cards, and a photo of my dog Lucy tucked behind the card slots. This wallet has sentimental value—it's a gift from my aunt—and I really need it back.

Ray-Ban Wayfarer sunglasses, black frame

I lost my Ray-Ban Wayfarer sunglasses yesterday around 3pm near the Cambridge Public Library on West Wheeling Ave. They are black plastic frames, medium size; one lens has a tiny scratch near the bottom and there is a small nick on the left temple. The silver RB logo sits on the temples, easy to spot. They came with a blue microfiber case that I kept in my bag, and I have been feeling off without them all day. They were a gift from my grandmother and have sentimental value, so I would really appreciate getting them back. If you found them, please message me and we can arrange a meetup near the library or a nearby cafe.
