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 Los Angeles 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 Los Angeles 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 Los Angeles — many wallets are handed in and reunited this way.

Lost black leather travel wallet containing ID, credit cards, and Disneyland passes at LAX baggage claim carousel.

I lost a black leather travel wallet while picking up my luggage at LAX. It had my ID, credit cards, and a couple of Disneyland passes in it. I last remember seeing it on the baggage claim carousel around 3 PM on October 10th. I'm really worried about my cards being in there, so I hope someone finds it.
