My mom lost her brand new reading glasses on the bus. Nobody turned them in. What a stranger would want with prescription glasses is beyond me but it will cost about $400 to replace them.

It is indeed scary when your identity is up for grabs. <BR/><BR/>julie - it really threw me for a loop. I pass a Brooklyn Industries store everyday and will check out the wallet situation!!!<BR/><BR/>jar - thank you for being so sweet. I will always overstuff my wallet and always regret it....<BR/><BR/>nejyerf - LOL / may your wallet never be stolen!!! You don't deserve it.<BR/><BR/>ellesu - my heart goes out for anyone traveling who loses their wallet.

I hope things are better now.<BR/><BR/>One day last summer while I was up that way, I was walking (or rather being pushed) through Soho (I think it was) and this woman (obviously a tourist) was standing in front of a store just boohooing. Her children were standing around her looking lost. Apparently her husband's wallet had been lifted. She just kept saying over and over that nothing like that had happened to them before. Such a helpless feeling.<BR/><BR/>Ben's correct. I know that and I keep saying I'm going to quit carrying my life in my purse.ellesuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15325851120856048298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14099114.post-11217243125366646042007-10-17T16:59:00.000-04:002007-10-17T16:59:00.000-04:00such wise advice from a young one.i've never had a...such wise advice from a young one.<BR/><BR/>i've never had a wallet stolen (and i'm sure by merely typing this i'm jinxing myself and it will be stolen in the next two weeks)<BR/><BR/>but i DID leave my metallic blue change purse full of quarters at the car wash and when i went back for it, it was gone. i was devastated and i hope whoever found it and used the quarters for the car wash, got a spotty wax job!!nejyerfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09308206206752686464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14099114.post-54938132176024124922007-10-17T07:05:00.000-04:002007-10-17T07:05:00.000-04:00What an awful moment.

Ben is so sweet and smart (but I've found that if I don't have it in my wallet I can't remember where I put the stuff- but that might be unique to me!). I'm glad that you got your id back and the keys. Those are important things.jodihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10512572406681071671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14099114.post-27047285873734851202007-10-16T22:49:00.000-04:002007-10-16T22:49:00.000-04:00that is such a devastating feeling. but I'm glad ...that is such a devastating feeling. but I'm glad you got what you wanted back. my wallet was stolen at the union square green market once, and i totally fell apart in front of my kids. i never got that one back, but i have had wallets returned to me before (sans cash). it's an amazing feeling. by the way, if you ever have to replace a wallet, go to brooklyn industries--they are inexpensive, well made, come with a lifetime guarantee and are stylish(!). it's also nice to support a local company. (it's where i went after losing my wallet the last time.)Julie Turley, Kingsborough Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17564731829599656331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14099114.post-52047323192585536722007-10-16T22:35:00.000-04:002007-10-16T22:35:00.000-04:00Glad everything turned out well.

I recently had my portfolio accepted at the Soho Photo Gallery in TriBeCa. God help me the day I start taking myself too seriously.)Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15133620064728357184noreply@blogger.com
