Stupid thing is, I always keep my wallet in my pocket as well, but I wore slacks last night, and the pockets were designed to keep things in them <grin> ... So I put it in my bag.
Sucks to lose all this, but yeah, it's only stuff. Do you know how difficult it is to get a replacement Social Security card though? I just went though hoops to get my last one! Which was last year!
