I have lost my wallet once. I was lucky because nothing was in it. I was so relieved. If I did have money or credit cards in I would definetley be hasterical. I would not be happy. I would have to cancle everything and make sure noone bought anything on my credit cards. It would truely be a mess. I never leave the house with knowing where my wallet is. I freak out if I can't find it. That I think is everyones common reaction. It is not fun to lose something. It is such a scary thought I don't like to think about at all!

Oh my god! You lost 400$? that's terrible. I would never carry that much around with me and I would just stuff it in the bank.

I think it's happened to everyone at least once in their lifetime. I'm typically an absent minded person so I'm always losing or misplacing things. Luckily I've only lost my wallet two times and it was returned to me without anything missing. The first time it happened I was actually at school and I ended up freaking about the whole day because my driver's license, social security card and money to buy school books was in there. Apparently someone found it and turned it in for me. The second time I accidently left it in my friend's car. I spent days looking for it and was about ready to go and get a new license and social security card. It wasn't until my friend cleaned out their car that they found it and returned it. These two incidents happened years ago and I've learned my lesson. I usually double and even triple check to make sure I have my wallet with me whenever I go out now. I believe it's better to be safe than sorry.

Nice question tuckersheri! Well I have lost my wallet twice, but there were only twenty dollar bills and people returned the money and the wallet to me. I was very respectful to them that they didn't run off and instead gave it to me. I never really carry credit cards around in my wallet. Well I never really carry my wallet around either. I just bring it with me when I know I am going to use it. I also keep 50$ in their to make sure that I am safe in case of an emergency. I hope this answers your question. Have a great day and have loads of fun mylotting! Also have a Happy New Year!

I have lost my wallet once some ten years bach while I was at college. I didn't lose anything like credit card, debit or any other valuable things except for the little money I had. But I lost that month's pocket money which was everything for me that time. It still haunts me when I think of it now.

Hello tuckersheri me too have lost my wallet atleast for two time, since i used to keep an wallet.Mostly used my wallet for some travelling expenses and some food expenses, my first wallet was stolen from my school as was practicing some sports activites, was in my bag but later not found, and had to borrow some money from my sir for travelling back home.And later when was in college used to travell by trains, int he heavy rush once got my wallet missing, thought stolen lodged an complaint, and foretted about it.Yeah both time had lost some money and some contacts of my known persons.Its frustrating to us as we weren;t able to handle it well.Anyways beware of the suspicious persons always, Happy mylotting.

I dont lose stuff that much so when my wallet got stolen once, it really broke my heart. It was given to me by my high school crush so it meant so much (lol) but what's sadder is the fact that we were about to go to the mall to buy a gift for my friend who would be celebrating her 18th birthday. I dont normally put all my money in one place but that time I lost my mind and put everything I have on that wallet. When we were on a public vehicle, I didnt notice that the guy beside me was actually slashing my bag. I even looked at him once and notice he was holding a wallet behind a folder but never realized it was MY wallet. I only learned about everything when we were about to alight. I am glad however that it didnt have to result to me being stabbed and robbed but still I was sad to lose that wallet and all my money. I wasnt able to buy a gift at that moment too. :(

Yes I have lost my wallet in a ship when I went travelling from Medan to visit my cousin in Jakarta, Indonesia. Honestly it's really bad experience because I was in a trip and I have no money. Fortunately,I went with My near aunty.So, she lead me to my destination.

I have had my wallet stollen, unfortunately, but I have never lost it. I keep very good care of my stuff, even more if it has important things in the inside, like a wallet.
I think I would feel horrible if I lost it. I'm glad that you didn't lose anything important when you lost your wallet.
