Josh, Judging by your e-mail address, it appears as though you are in the UK. I’m based in the US, so I’m not too familiar with your options. Best of luck.

My roommate claims he has lost his wallet 5 times within the course of one year. I suggested he get a chained-wallet, but I think he is in need of higher help.

Getting back those identification cards are the hardest part of all of this. I’ve known some people who lost their ID’s and had a stranger mail it back.

I’m glad you mentioned this, Ryan! With identity theft so rampant, it is vital that we are diligent about protecting it. These are all fantastic tips, and the best way to avoid any long-standing issues.

Just as note, while it is best to get a copy of the police report if you can, your bank or credit union probably won’t require the actual report. They usually want just the case number. The reason for this is to put a little of the responsibility back on the consumers. If you’re purse or wallet is stolen, your bank or credit union expects you to take some initiative in the process.
