Missing Wallet at IKEA East Palo Alto - REWARD!
I'm posting this just in case whoever found my wallet looks me up...
I lost it possibly around 6pm+ Wednesday July 20th. I think it fell out of my pocket at IKEA in East Palo Alto,CA somewhere between the lighting section and the self serve furniture section. That's my guess at least. Although a walk through of that area didn't turn up anything.
It's a black Kenneth Cole Wallet with a big silver button snap in the front. I had a million pieces of papers and cards in that wallet. The biggest loss for me in that deal was my license and the wallet itself, since it matches my purse and wasn't cheap.
If you found my wallet know the following:
- All credit cards were canceled immediately
- My Bank card was canceled immediately
- CA DMV will be alerted today for potential identity theft/fraudulent use of my license, in case someone decides to use it in a traffic stop etc.
- All credit bureaus will be alerted to potential fraud/identity theft issues. This puts a flag on my reports and any companies that receive credit applications will have to call me first before they can process the app.
- Any other service cards that could potentially be used are now canceled, replaced, flagged or password protected.
I would hope that there would be good samaritan who'd want to turn it in. But at least I'm protected just in case.
UPDATE:
I called IKEA again today and no one turned my wallet in. I spent the whole day running around getting passport photos to renew my passport as a backup ID as well as going to the DMV etc. Just about everything has been taken care of. Now I have to go buy a new wallet! Hrmmm, maybe that's not such a bad thing... :)

Ha Ha Ha, I totally have your wallet, and I don't believe for one second that you are in fact 5'3" tall. I would be willing to bet that your most recent ID states your actual height, around 5'2"

Okay fine! Yes I put the wrong height on my new license. Dammit! I hate it when that happens because now I can't go back and change it. DAMMMIT!
Don't Be Such a big mean head to david, you should let go your anger. Anger leads to hate and hate leads to the dark side. Don't go over to the dark side, let go of your feelings and become one with the force.

I'm sorry to hear you lost your wallet. I have a very cool ubr-m0dded cigarette case wallet / analog PDA and i was really bummed when i lost it somewhere at heavenly.
Sure enough, after i did the card cancel dance and wait in line at DMV all day they called, someone turned it in.
Alas.
