Today I realized that my social security card, driver's lisence and bank card are all gone. None of them are in my purse anymore and they're the only things missing. My purse is either next to me (even at home) or locked in my locker at work. The only time I can think of that I didn't have my purse right by my side is when I was at a friend of mine's house a few days ago for a bon fire. It was me and my boyfriend and her and her boyfriend. I contemplated leaving it inside or taking it out with me but figured that I was with my friends so it was safe. My friend went inside because she had been fighting with her boyfriend and that's the only time that I can think of that my purse has been around someone else and not me at the same time. I feel horrible for thinking that she could have taken them from me but there's no other possible way that just those 3 things that are the most important things I had in the purse are all missing at once. I called her and asked if she had seen them and she immediately said that she had just cleaned her entire house even scrubbed the walls and didn't see it anywhere. She then went on to talk about how she had just recently lost her credit card and Id as well. I don't know what to think right now, any advice? I already canceled my card but don't know where I should go from here. Someone has my social security number right now and all I can think about is all of my student loans! Any advice about what to do about the missing items or about my friend would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Go to your local Social Security office immediately and report your card stolen and apply for a new one. Cancel your bank card and call DMV to find out how to replace the driver's license. It may be too late to report it missing since it happened a few days ago, but its worth a call to the police department to find out the procedure. Sometimes having an official police report can help with filing for the new documents. Take action quickly. If someone starts using your SS# it could mess up your credit and flag your # for years. It took me a long time to clear up my mess. A lady was writing bad checks with my # and it messed me up. So act quickly. Don't wait. Its a pain but you've got to get on the phone NOW and start informing yourself. Even if you have to miss work to go down to the offices and start the process, you need to do it now. Its really important. As for your friend, tell her you're missing your stuff from the bon fire the other night and ask her did she see anything suspicious. Then just observe her reaction. That will tell you alot. Otherwise, you have no proof, so there's no sense in accusing people that you consider friends. This SUCKS! So sorry you have to deal with this. Good luck.
