Lost my wallet today and I’m honestly overwhelmed.
Singapore, live around dover and buona vista. 4th july around 5:30pm.
This morning I rushed out of the house because my elevator and bus stop are really close to each other. My bus pulled up just as I got downstairs, and that’s when I realized I couldn’t feel my wallet.
I immediately searched around the bus stop, walked back home, retraced my route multiple times, and even did a deep clean of my entire house hoping I’d somehow overlooked it. Nothing.
What surprises me the most is that if I really did drop it outside, it disappeared so quickly. I wasn’t even that far from home.
The part that’s hitting me the hardest isn’t the money because I mostly pay cashless anyway. It’s the wallet itself. It was a gift from my mom, so it has a lot of sentimental value. Inside were my IC, student EZ-Link card, bank card, and a few other personal items. None of them are worth much financially, but replacing them is going to be such a hassle.
I spent the whole day stressing over it, cancelled my plans with friends, made a police report, and froze my bank card. Now I’m just sitting here replaying the morning over and over, wondering if I could’ve prevented it. I’m also dreading the replacement fees and honestly feel really clumsy.
Other than filing a police report and freezing my bank card, is there anything else I should do? Has anyone had any luck getting a lost wallet back in Singapore, or is it usually gone for good? (Genuinely going insane and having theory if it slips in the elevator gap— but that wouldve been impossible)
