I checked my dad and aunt’s wallet and purse for them. They don’t carry their social security cards, BUT their medicare (or medicaid) cards use their social security number. They have both had to have emergency care so they feel more secure carring them, however they are getting forgetful and they leave their checkbook/purse/wallet sometimes. So what should they do?

I carry business cards…they prove I make nothing. I’m a gymnastics coach.

That’s a good idea. You should probably change that to “$20 reward and good conscience,” though.

I make sure to keep a card in my wallet with my phone-number and an advertised “$20 reward and good conscious”, just in case I drop my wallet and someone with half a moral happens upon it.

Barring that, I was able to track someone down by calling one of the numbers on a business card they had in their wallet. Not necessarily the most terrible thing to keep in your wallet.

Good Post. I follow the same rules.

The only caveat is I usually don’t carry my keys in my purse, but then sometimes I forget my purse, because I am a dork – LOL. But that is usually if I am in a friend’s home or something, I drop my keys in the purse because without my keys I can’t leave. Sometimes it is better to remember your purse – LOL.

But yeah, no cash, extra credit cards, and certainly no checks or SS#s in my purse. & usually most places I don’t forget the purse and it isn’t an issue. Also, I just don’t carry my purse around a lot of the time. Sometimes pockets are better and safer from theft.
