Lost wallet
 
Any ideas for a quick ID in case I get pulled over?

KFC911 03-06-2024 12:09 PM

If you don't know your Driver's License number from memory .... imo, you should, and address, etc. That should suffice in a pinch as they pull it up on their computer along wif yer mugshot :D

Hopefully without your ears from years ago :)

Too late now, but it's a good idea to keep a picture of your D/L and passport on your phone.

Blockbuster ID maybe?

I have taken photos of my DL, FOID card, etc. My insurance cards are on my phone as well. As I'm now older, I have photos pf my medical prescriptions' too. Just too much to remember.

Joe Bob? Your life seems to bounce from one minor bad episode to another. Any idea why?

"Lost wallet" - Always a stressful experience.

I hope you find it soon.

It’s 2024 not 1980.
Who doesn’t have a photo of their license / passport / proof of residence on their phone somewhere?

Not on my dumb phone, but in an old fashioned lockable file cabinet. What? Phones don't get stolen or go haywire?

A930Rocket 03-06-2024 05:58 PM

I have pictures of my drivers license, credit cards etc. on my iPhone locked with a password.

For some reason though, I always remember my drivers license number.

It’s 2024. You can’t remote brick your phone if you lose it and it’s not all backed up on a server in someone’s cloud?

How to tell me you have a flip phone without saying you have a flip phone…

Funny story,

I was playing baseball and got into the parking lot and stupidly went around to the passenger side of my car to put my wallet into the glovebox, locked the car and walked away. Noticing two younger kids on bikes nearby watching me. Didn’t think much of it, but when I finished the game and went back to my car, I saw my passenger window was broken, checked the glove box and my wallet was gone. That’s on me…

Two weeks later I get a phone call from someone who found my wallet. I went over to the house and it was a 12 year old boy who found it, he was fishing in the reservoir and hooked my wallet (it was right next to where I parked). I didn’t believe it, but he gave me my wallet and it had all my cards in it, just no money. I was shocked and pleased, gave the kid $20 and thanked him and his dad profusely.

Another one.

I saw a car driving past in traffic with a wallet on the roof. I did the both arms wave and pointed at his roof. He looked at me kinda angry and carried on driving then stopped for the traffic light. I ran up grabbed his wallet then showed it to him through the window. Haha, he got out almost crying and hugged me and said thanks and he has just had the worst day in a long time that could have got even worse.

Before I retired, I had access to the most ridiculously powerful magnets I have ever seen. Downright dangerous to get your finger between two half dollar sized examples. They would certainly clamp hard enough to raise a good blood blister, maybe even hard enough to break a bone.

So, of course, I thought is was funny as hell to put one in the bottom of a Starbucks cup, or inside of my wallet, and put it on the roof of my car as I drove home from work. Out on the freeway at 70+ mph. People honking and pointing, all in a twitter. Not a one of them considering just how on Earth a paper coffee cup could stay on my roof at those speeds. Good times...

Bill Douglas 03-06-2024 07:25 PM

LOL, good stunt.

I had something similar happened to me years ago. I was driving on 285 around Atlanta and noticed this lady’s purse on top of her car. I finally got her attention, waved my wallet and pointed to the roof at her car, when she realized what I was trying to tell her. She slowed down and started to move over, while I forged ahead.

Anyone wise in the ways of cyber security and ID theft.

There are worse things than not having an ID when pulled over. At the least you will get a minor ticket along with possibly a ticket for why you were pulled over. Just drive right for a few days. I haven't been pulled over in 20 years and that was for a questionable too quick of a lane change. No ticket. I was polite. Had a load of drywall in the bed of my PU hanging out. It didn't require a flag as it was not over 4' past the taillights.

Lots of folks only use one eye .... you should have recieved your license :(.

My brain somehow "tunes out" one eye for distance, though I see peripherally, and actually read using it too.

When I look through their machine, I see ABCD ____ WXYZ .... unless I close the eye being used.... then I would see ____ 1234 ____ :D

At 64 I still see great both near and far ;)

No specs :)
