Lost Wallet

Update: December 27, 2012
The police called Zach's co-teacher to let her know that they had Zach's wallet.  He got his wallet back today!  Everything was still inside!  Not even the subway card had been used.  How awesome is that?!

Well, it happened.  I guess it was bound to at some point.  Zach lost his wallet.  The bad part about it?  He was sober.  Hehe!  He either left it in the cab or it fell out of his pocket before he got home.  Thankfully there was no cash in it.  All of the cash was in his pants pocket.

Losing a wallet means that he also lost his subway card, credit card, Korean ATM card, Alien Registration Card (ARC - Korean ID card), and his driver's license.  Zach's co-teacher made a report with the police, but we still have not heard whether someone has turned it in yet or not.  We are not holding our breath.

Obviously, we had to cancel the credit card and have them send us a new one.  The subway card is not a big loss even though he had about $20.00 on it.  He will have to get a new ARC which is kind of a pain in the butt.  He will have to take time off of work to go to the immigration office so they can issue him another one.  It will take probably 3-4 weeks before he will get a new one.  In order to make any changes at the bank here, they usually want to see our ARCs.  So, I don't know if Zach will be able to get a new ATM card before he gets his ARC in 3-4 weeks.  Hopefully they can go easy on him and just issue him a new card using his passport.  I don't know how getting the driver's license is going to work.  With the Indiana BMV, you can apparently replace a lost license by going online.  However, to set up an account, you need to put in your license number.  I don't think we've ever written down his license number.  So, we sent the BMV an e-mail.  We'll see how far that gets us. :)

Yeah, this all sucks, but it could have been worse.  At least he didn't lose any money and no one has tried to use the credit or ATM cards!  It's just a big hassle.  Thank goodness that's all it is!
