This is just a thought for everyone to do and I wanted to be sure more people could see it.

Identity Theft is a terrible thing and this is a suggestion to help you in case you lose your wallet.

Photo copy every card and important things you carry in your wallet both sides. Usually there are phone numbers on there to call in case of lose. Keep the photo copy in your tax return for the year or sock drawer if you don't file. It is a way to help in that rush of the moment and may save you thousands of dollars and help you stop thieves quickly.

Thank you Garrett and Dallar.

is the day you have stopped leading them.
They have either lost confidence that you can help them
or concluded that you do not care.
Either case is a failure of leadership.”

So as I was telling Rach before, my wallet with my identity was stolen, along iwth credit cards, health cards, drivers license. It's important to keep a copy of that stuff, it may work for temporary proof that you had it. It also allows you to know what you have to cancel, should it get stolen.

Wow, I just realised I have my bank card, health insurance card, national insurance number, drivers licence and most importantly my student privelege card for Subway, and if I lose it then I really will have (cue moose)

But yeah, I'm gonna copy them ASAP biggrin.gif

I keep it in my right jacket pocket which happens to have a hole in it, so someone will have to take the jacket off me and slice it open to find it fast enough. Pretty safe tongue.gif
