Things I know I had in my wallet

[ailbhe]

Until sometime yesterday - about 5 pm - I had this wallet in cherry red. It was a squeakmakingly wonderful birthday or Christmas gift from Rob's parents one year. I used it constantly.

It contained a debit card each for my personal and our joint current accounts. It contained a Mastercard credit card. It contained a current diary, and several sheaves of notes, including some poetry I wrote about Linnea when she was less than six weeks old. I was still feeling too tender about it to transfer it to a more permanent medium. It contained my library card, Boots Advantage card, and some other non-financial plastic, including charity membership cards. It may also have contained a Barclaycard, I've just realised, so I need to check my other card-stashing place for that. There was less than three quid in cash.

It did not contain my Family Railcard, driving license photocard, Kew membership card, or, um, anything else I can think of offhand.

Someone enterprising saw me crying miserably on the bus and grabbed the opportunity.

That, or I dropped it. Either way, I've put a temporary block on the cards and will likely confirm them lost tomorrow.

Enough.

Oh no! It's hard to imagine *anyone* being that inhuman. You've contacted the bus company I assume? In that state it might not have been out of the question that you'd have dropped it and not noticed. Also woth trying local police station, and anywhere else where someone who found it might have left it - it's common, apparently, for the wallet to be abandoned with things not of monetary value after credit cards etc. have been taken, so even if it was stolen, you yet might get the important things back.

It's also fairly common for everything except the cash to be dumped somewhere. That's what happened when I had my wallet taken - the bank say that no one ever even tried to use any of the cards that I lost.

I resolutely did nothing about any of it until this evening after I got home from a day determinedly spent out. By which time lost property was closed. But I will call them.

I'll check with the police too.

I am so, so tired.

*hugs* Some bastard stole my purse once, in a pub on the way home from CCDE several years ago. Annoyingly, it had £50 in cash in.

What a hassle. I used to lose (or have stolen) a wallet every 6 monhs or so, when I was taking public transportation.

How sad. *( I'm so sorry. I hope you can recover the wallet and the poem somehow.

Ah no, sweetie. I had my bike robbed yesterday too, and it's just... so miserable. I would say it's something about the day that was in it, but it was my birthday!

Best of luck in replacing the valuable things, dear. I hope the poems are still in your heart.
