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 St Louis 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 St Louis 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 St Louis — many wallets are handed in and reunited this way.

Black Ray-Ban Wayfarer sunglasses with engraved temple

I lost my black Ray-Ban Wayfarer sunglasses yesterday around 3pm. They're in a glossy black plastic frame with gray polarized lenses, the classic Wayfarer shape. Inside the left temple there's a tiny engraving 'RB' and a faint scratch on the lower outer corner of the left lens. I last had them outside the City Museum on 15th Street near Market in downtown St. Louis. I rely on these for driving and reading, and they hold sentimental value because my grandmother gave them to me. If anyone finds them, please leave a note here or message me here—I'd be forever grateful.

Brown Coach bifold wallet with blue interior

I lost my brown leather Coach bifold wallet yesterday around 3pm near the Starbucks on Market Street, right outside Union Station in downtown St. Louis. It's a well-worn wallet with a blue interior pocket and a faint Coach logo on the outside. Inside there's a small photo sleeve with a picture of my grandmother, plus a tiny coffee ring on the back. It holds my driver's license and a couple of cards, and it's sentimental because it was a gift from my grandmother. I'm really hoping to get it back.

Black Ray-Ban Wayfarer glasses

I lost my black matte Ray-Ban Wayfarer glasses yesterday around 3pm near the City Museum on Grand Ave in St. Louis. They’re in a soft black leather case with my initials PP on the inside of the right temple. The frame is plastic with silver hinges, and there’s a tiny scratch on the left lens. They’re prescription lenses and I really need them back for work and daily life; I’ve been squinting all day. If anyone found them, please drop them off at the City Museum entrance or message me here — I’d be so grateful.

Lost set of house and bicycle keys with a bright orange leather keychain at Walmart on Manchester Ave, St Louis.

I lost a set of keys, which has a bright orange leather keychain attached and a couple of house keys, while shopping at the Walmart on Manchester Ave in St Louis. I think I may have left them in the shopping cart or dropped them in the parking lot. If anyone finds them, I would really appreciate getting them back as they also have a unique bicycle key that I can't replace easily.
