But the problem coming when i want to pay, i checking my pocket and my wallet was gone... and unlucky, money and credit card in wallet too... only small money in pocket...... One question : If this situation also happening with you, what will you do ???

if i am in your position, i will return the things and dont have to buy anything. i do not want to force myself to buy the things while my money is not sufficient enough to buy, even though my wife would be upset.. or maybe i will buy the things but just the things that only can be bought by a small amount of money...

A very long time ago my husband was robbed. They took his billfold and cash. The worst problem of it was he was out of state driving truck so he was really in trouble. The cash he had was his food money for the week and also his money for fuel. He was fortunate the company he drove for sent him money. My daughter has lost her CASH before, very careless. I was in a car wreck and lost my purse and had to cancel my checking accounts and also my credit cards and replace drivers license. After that I never carry cash, only my drivers license and credit card. If they don't take the credit card I don't need their services. At least I don't have to worry about anything getting stolen! Or lost.

Wow that is a tough situation to be in!!!!!!!! Ya it has not happened to me and I don't want it to happen to me since it is really a horrible situation....... But if I was in that situation . I would have refused the goods and try to inform police and try to block my card as soon as possible then redo everything i did .... I usually keep extra money in my bag !! Where it will be safe... so that incase this situation arises I have noooo problem :)

Hi, Sorry to hear about this bad incident happened to you. I can fully understand your situation to lose your wallet with some important bank cards. It is very tidious as you need to call the bank to cancel all your credit card for security reason. Next time, you really have to pay extra attention when come to crowded place, try to keep your wallet in the safe place. Sometimes, I prefer to just put my money direct in my pocket,instead of bringing my wallet out while shopping. Especially during sales period,everywhere was crowded and sometime, we don't even realize our wallet is gone in the crowd.

Oh wow sorry to hear this. If it were me hysteria would kick in. I would be having panic attacks and shortness of breath. First though would be to call credit card company and report it missing. Hope you were able to resolve the issue, this truly is a bad thing. We work so hard to earn and to be out of your money and possible credit card charges, WOW! Sorry to hear this, hope you are able to resolve this.

Call on all your credit cards and report them lost or stolen, it's the only safe thing to do unless you remember that your wallet is someplace safe and you are sure. You need to contract everyone that had anything to do with what is in your wallet, identy theft is common.

Hi Fey! Sad to hear that. When going to the mall or market place we always have to be careful cause we can either drop are wallet/ money accidentally or someone might be stealing from us. One time, my bag was slashed and my wallet too was gone and that happened inside the mall. When there are lot of people this robbers are on the loose waiting for their victims. Let's be careful next time.

Ow, sorry to hear that, you must had been in a very horrible situation. I hope you didn't lose so much money. This never happened to me yet, I always try to be very careful wherever I go, and try not to have much cash money inside my wallet too. I think if this happen to me, I will be very panic but first thing I would do it make police report and also contact the bank to cancel my card.

better not buy... though my wife and children would be very upset but i think that will be the best way out. i do not want to force myself to buy things my wallet can't buy. or maybe i will buy the things that my wallet with a small amount of money can buy bro...
