Answer 1

C) Cancel my cards - just common sense. Don't want anybody using them or stealing my identity.

Answer 2

definitely C then A.

It's easier to cancel the cards than to catch the one who took them. Plus a ruined credit is so hard to fix.
But there may be a chance of catching if they were to try to use the canceled cards or anything else in your wallet.
I work in the layaway department at Wal-Mart. A wallet thief had used the layaway slip to cancel the layaway and get the money paid on the layaway. When the real customers tried to get the layaway out and I saw it was canceled and they explained that their wallet had been stolen I went to find the paper the thief had signed in hopes the cops could at least do a handwriting comparison or something. It turned out the thief had signed his own name instead of forging the real customers'. I made a copy of it and gave it to the customers. A cop investigating the wallet theft had came in two hours later to talk to me about the whole thing.

Answer 3

E,

I never have much of anything of value in there anyway.

I have one ATM card which is completely useless without a PIN so it'd just give me an excuse to get a new wallet.

Though I'd have to go get a new card for the gym and then New Savings Cards for the grocery stores, new ins cards, I guess it would suck pretty bad.

Answer 4

Cancel my credit cards ASAP. Then, report it missing to the police. Then, get a new driver's license. Then get pissed and angry and then realize that I was not hurt in any way to get that wallet. And hope the $on of a ***** gets hit by a car and his legs broken! (it could be a her, does not matter). Then look for another wallet-and a new purse to go along with it.
I know you said choose one, but, in this case, two is really better then just one to pick here.

Answer 5

C,cancel my cards immediately!That is the most critical situation when somebody try to used your cards and you have your pin code listed in a piece of paper with thw wallets or you have your bday and other personal info that you use as pin number,it would be a big trouble that they shop by your name but not for your pleasure and you will be liable for all debts!

Answer 6

A friend of mine got robbed about a month ago in broad daylight. I saw the light. I keep no cards or money in my wallet. Just some worthless papers. Hoplefully that's all they'll go for and they'll get nothing.

Answer 7

Probably A, but not the cops. Just report it to the store customer advisory BUT then I prepare my self just in case. I only carry suficient amount for what I want that day. Rest is kept elsewhere. Cards are not kept with wallet *GRIN*

Answer 8

Cancel the cards immediately and go get a new drivers license.

Answer 9

E. I've lost my wallet to many times to count already. I'm pretty resigned to the fact that it's gonna happen again. And if I lose then I'm sure that I'm gonna have to buy a new one anyway. So I'm killing two birds with one stone.

Answer 10

B: because I never carry anything important in my wallet...well purse...just some diapers and a maybe some pictures. I have a bad habit of losing it or leaving it places so i always have pockets with zippers.

Answer 11

C) Cancel my cards. Immediately
Would not want to have charges on my credit cards!
