Lost wallet...freaking out DDD:
Hey guys...I lost my wallet in BSB in the first floor ladies' room at around 11 am. I went back around 11:20 and it wasn't there anymore.
It's a black accordion-style wallet w/a crocodile pattern and snap closure, similar to the one shown in the picture here. This wallet contains a few pieces of personal ID as well as money so if someone finds it, I'd REALLY appreciate it if they turn it in to campus security services D:
Thanks for your help guys...here's hoping I find it soon! T_T

Well, I found my wallet. But all my money's been cleaned out so whoever this was, I hope you enjoy your stolen cash.
Thanks for reinforcing the belief that people aren't to be trusted.

I have never understood why people carry their SIN cards with them. The only time you should ever need it is opening a bank account or starting a new job. Not stuff where you need to carry it around all the time. It is your most important ID because it is your identity to the government and links everything together.

I agree with Jeff - you're not supposed to carry around your SIN card.
I believe replacing a health card is free, as well as debit and credit cards. Our student card is $30 to replace. It's more of a pain to replace them then the actual cost.
:( How much money did you lose?

I carry my SIN card in my wallet just because I am prone to losing important things if I don't have them somewhere I see everyday.

@ingénieur.xo: Same. Also, if you've got all your important ID on you, even if someone breaks into your house they won't be able to get their hands on that.
@Kathy2: Ah okay. Yeah, I was kinda lucky in that I don't have debit set up and my health card is about to expire anyway. Student cards are a pain to replace though due to the $30 fee >_>
Whoever the girl was, she stole $105 from me + all my change. Guess it's back to the bank for me this weekend T_T

I didn't think it was that much money! That's so horrible. I could never take even 5 bucks from someones wallet, the guilt would be too much. If I ever lose my wallet the person will be disappointed if they find it and expect money, because the max have in mine( on a good day) is 10 bucks! How did you end up finding it?

I would suggest that you create a place to keep all of your important documents (SIN card, Birth Certificate, Will). You are going to have to do this later in life so you might as well start the practice early. Go out and buy a small safety deposit box to keep it all in and find a safe place to hide it. If you are worried about forgetting it tell your parents/partner.
I have much greater fears of losing my wallet or getting pick pocketed then some one breaking into my house. And even then, I think my laptop or camera will be stolen long before my SIN card.
