The fast pace of life, information overload, the desire to do everything both at work and at home can lead to absent-mindedness and dispersal of attention. It’s very difficult to live in such circumstances; it’s no wonder you forget or lose something. People often look for lost wallets. Read on to find out what to do if such a problem occurs.
What to do if you lost your wallet?
First and most important - calm down and don't panic. Everything has already happened, so it won’t get any worse. The chance of getting your lost wallet back is minimal, but heartache and frayed nerves are not good for anyone. Remember that money is a matter of gain, and health is most valuable.
Many people even say that such a loss is akin to charity. This is a punishment for some unseemly actions in life, and the smallest loss is ill health, not general well-being, but just a certain amount of money.
Inspect your workplace or apartment if they fall on your route from the point when you last saw the wallet to the point where you discovered it was missing. Perhaps it just fell out somewhere in the car if you were traveling in a car.
What could be the consequences?
It is difficult to predict the full consequences of this incident. It would be good if you only had cash in your wallet. But sometimes the wallet becomes the keeper of some documents, passwords to social network accounts, PIN codes for debit and credit cards. And the cards themselves are most often carried in a wallet.
Of course, there is always hope that the wallet will fall into the hands of an honest person who will find you and return everything safe and sound. But in reality this happens rarely. Therefore, it is better to forget about cash right away. If they return, there will be cause for joy.
It’s sad that you will need to put a lot of effort into restoring documents and bank cards. And if passwords and pins were written down in the wallet, then bigger troubles are quite possible. After all, they can become the property of fraudsters who will not fail to take advantage of what comes into their hands: cards can be cashed out, and bank accounts can be reset to zero through the Internet banking password, which for many people coincides with account passwords.
Important! Never store personal account information, passwords, PIN codes, originals or copies of documents in your wallet. This leaves you very vulnerable to thieves and unscrupulous people.
How to start looking for a wallet?
Remember the last time you used your wallet - paid with cash, took out a bank card, looked at the business card you needed.What were you wearing, what places did you visit? Think about what happened to you - you lost your wallet, it was stolen, or it was forgotten at work.
Important! The best place to look for a lost wallet is in the pockets of items that have recently been worn and on your desk. Typically, there are many wallets at this stage.
How to find a wallet? Step by step tips
Call or walk around every place you've been since you last held your wallet., including this place too. Ask sellers, waiters, cashiers - all people who may have any information about your wallet. After all, if a wallet is found by visitors, then it is quite possible that it was given to the administrator of a restaurant or store for safekeeping in the hope that the owner will be found.
If, shortly before the loss, you were paying in a store and assume that when picking up your purchases, you might have put your wallet not in your bag, but left it at the checkout or accidentally dropped it, then it makes sense to ask the store administration to view the video camera near the cash register. If you have working equipment, you can find out about the fate of your wallet.
Ask friends or colleagues, all those with whom you supposedly were at the time you lost control of your wallet.
Block your bank cards by calling or SMS to the bank.
Contact the police. Write a report about the loss of your wallet. Of course, they are unlikely to find him. Such crimes (if there was a theft) are rarely solved, but with a police certificate you can with the least difficulty recover lost documents, debit and credit cards.
