I'll keep this short, since I feel stupid and don't need to go on and on, but I lost my wallet this week. I thought I merely misplaced it somewhere at home. I had it on Weds night when I paid for groceries at the market. When I looked for it on Thursday morning, it was nowhere to be found at home. Long, painful story short, it was gone. I took some precautions and called my credit card companies to warn them I may have lost it (some accounts were closed and reissued, some put on hold).
After a few days of stressing out and looking everywhere, I finally got a call from Citibank warning me some fraudulent charges may have been made...and we confirmed that yes, my card was therefore missing and in someone else's hands. Account was fully cancelled and a new card is on its way.
All my credit card/banking business has been taken care of. but the major losses are as follows:
my driver's license (getting a new one on friday)
$100 credit at circuit city
$100 credit at best buy
$50 other credit I can't recall
my undergrad and grad school ID cards (sentimental)
$20 rebate check
various receipts (only important if i need to return stuff, oh well)
possibly a copy of my SSN (i know, What was i thinking, i have it memorized anyway...ugh!)
sundry notes/items that could be important or sentimental
etc etc etc
My wallet must have fallen or was snatched between when I paid for groceries and when i got to my apt. So a warning to all, don't keep important items in your wallets. keep it simple, keep it light, leave stuff at home until you really need it.
It could be worse, but i foresee some major headaches to come.
