Police report if you have lost or had your wallet/purse stolen.
How to file the Police report

If you have lost or had your wallet or purse stolen, you should file a Police report in the jurisdiction where the incident occurred. If you do not know where you lost your wallet/purse you can file a report with your local Police department.

You can call the Police department and find out what reporting options are available to you.

You may be able to file the report on-line, over the phone or in person by going to the Police station. Some Police departments may send a Patrol car to your location to take a report.

What you need to file the report

You will need proper identification to start the report. You will need to provide the Police with the last place and time you knew you had your wallet/purse.

Provide the Police with a list of items, documentation and identification that was in your wallet or purse.

Make sure you list all the items that are of most importance such as; credit cards, driver's license and anything that may have had your social security number. These are items that suspects can use to steal your identity.

Why file a report

Filing a Police report covers you in case anyone uses your credit cards, steals your identity or commits a crime using your personal information.

The bank will need you to file a Police report in order to reimburse your account for any fraudulent charges or withdraws made on your credit cards.

The DMV will need you to file a Police report in order to issue you a new driver's license.

Filing this report is critical.
