I would have saved $25...
Nov. 23rd, 2011 03:12 pm...if I'd waited for the mail.
Today's mail delivery brought a welcome envelope from a Good Samaritan. It contained all of the cards and non-monetary artifacts that were in the pocket wallet I lost Sunday afternoon in the Bronx. Well, all except the button mixed in with my change. I'm not worried about that, the $20-30, or the very worn out green leather pocket wallet itself.
I'm delighted to have my driver's license back, and my verified and approved Library of Congress Reading Room card, too. The two credit cards have been cancelled for days, but I'm still grateful to have the physical objects in hand much as that makes no difference in terms of the security or usefulness of the information they contain.
Plus, I am once again a card-carrying SMOF. Win.
If I'd waited a few more hours, I could have avoided the $25 fee for the duplicate driver's license. So life goes. It really is down in the noise and I remain very aware of just how easy I had it compared to having my entire purse with full-sized wallet go missing, or other completely-possible scenarios. My thanks go out to the anonymous person who mailed my cards and kipple to me.
