CAT Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 You could try calling the lost property department at Fettes? Sometimes it takes a while to be returned there but I lost my car keys at the Athens match and got them back a few weeks later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Say What Again Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 Are you sure it was the bus you dropped it mate? A guy I know thought he'd left his in a taxi a few months back only to be contacted by the police a few days later. He'd dropped it in the street and someone had handed it to the police - with his cash still inside it too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Princess Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 Having gone through the process of losing my purse in Waverley Station I can sympathise. What you must to is get all your cards cancelled asap as some nasty weegie got hold of mine and in the couple of hours between me losing it and reporting them gone had done nearly ?200 quids worth of damage topping up pay and go mobiles, plus I had to replace my Drivers Licence, Cinema Pass, also gave me the creeps as your address is on your drivers licence. Even after I reported it, I was getting copies of transactions made through west, the bank asking me to confirm that this was fraud, went on for about a month, Police were very helpful and although it must be like looking for a needle in a haystack. However the stupid tart tried to use them again at the Forge about a month later and was caught, I did ask if I could have 5mins with them but sadly my PC had to refuse. Was the worst feeling ever and valuable lesson learned for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuart Lyon Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 Sorry to hear about you losing your wallet. Haven't lost mine but so far this year my M&S card has been 'compromised' twice leading to new cards being issued. They won't, for legal reasons, tell me who the merchant was! What if I want to stop gibing that merchant my custom? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jambo83 Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 I've only ever lost my wallet once and some kind lad from Kirknewton phoned my house the next day and told me to come and collect it. It was quite funny as when I went to collect it he had his Hibs top on and my car had a wee Hearts scarf on the parcel shelf.

Sharpie Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 Had my wallet with all ID etc stolen a few years ago. Cancelled all credit cards etc. but was totally bereft of all ID. As drivers licence here has a photo on it went to MVB to apply for a new licence. Explained my situation and was told well you must have ID, explained again no ID had all been stolen, we went on for a while like this I eventually asked if this was a joke was I on Candid Camera, after being threatened with eviction if I didn't calm down, a supervisor eventually came and helped me out, what an experience, hope the OP is more fortunate.

Bigsmak Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 I found a wallet in the street once, all the cash was gone but had his drivers licence, credit cards, work card etc in it. I handed it into - Wait for it ....... The police..... OMG... (have you tried them yet?) And a week later I got a thank you note from the dude and a ?10 book token from him. I was raging that the police gave out my address to the bloke. But I bought some new Terry Pratchett... Where was I? Oooo Friday night...,.

Lets get pished In the old days in my time with ECP the found property forms used to specifically ask if you wanted the property if not claimed, or if you would accept a reward if the property was claimed. Were you asked this when you handed in the wallet. Which may explain why your identity was given. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

inspector Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 Managed to leave my wallet in a taxi a few years ago . Well ****ed. Searched all over the house , out in the street then got a call from a taxi driver next morning, phoning from a pub in Castle Street.(Might have been Champagne Charlies?) He'd found it in his cab. Picked it up later that day and gave him a tenner. Could have cost me a damn sight more in time and effort. Very grateful and learned a good lesson.

Domokun Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 Hard lines Balboa. It's happened to me in the past. Never handed in. When it did happen to me though, three things I did not think to do (can't think why not) were: 1) To go on thevirus.net and start a thread about it. 2) Get offended when people were less than sympathetic. 3) Retort with wide anti-AIDS victim comments.

You may or may not already know this ( had my wallet stolen in Tenerife recently) but with respect to your driving licence they retain all the details presuming you have a card not the ancient type (paper) and over the phone you can arrange a new one for ?22 and it is sent out pretty quickly. No need to fill in forms etc. Problem I had as I arranged it while still out the country w I had no credit cards to pay with but luckily begged the wife to pay the ?22 you may have to do the same.
