Wallet gone, what to do? Those affected should heed three tips. If your wallet is lost, in many cases this means not only the loss of cash, but also of bank cards and ID.

If the bank card is lost or even stolen, you should have it blocked immediately at the bank and, in the event of theft, report the loss to the police. The German embassy or a German consulate is the contact person abroad. They issue a replacement document. If money is debited, you can easily cancel the direct debit within six weeks.
