This is why its really not a good idea to have excessive amounts of cash in your wallet at any time. for mer personally, anything over 100$ makes me uncofmrtable, so i try and keep it below that as often as possible. great tip andy, your ss card should be kept in a safe location at all times. one item that was left out was the cash that you could lose.

You shouldn't keep your social security card in your wallet and you probably don't need to carry more than one credit card with you either.

When I my email and facebook were hacked, I instantly signed up for LifeLock, put a credit freeze on my account, cancelled my bank account and set up a new one, and cancelled my credit card (I only had one). Sure maybe this was a bit of overkill, but I have been using the same bank account for so many years, I have no idea what the guy could have dug up. Plan for the worst, hope for the best.
