i had my wallet stolen at a restaurant in 04.. since i had been staying out of state for a considerable amount of time (over a year), but wanted to keep my residence in my home state for a number of reasons - it sucked more than you could imagine.
i had to fly back, wait in line at the DMV, get new ID issued. i also had to withdrawal enough cash to get me through, since i no longer had an ATM card and my bank didn't have branches where i was living at the time. get new CCs sent out. all the mess.
about a month and $1000 in flights after everything settled into place, i found my wallet under the passenger seat in my friend's car. it fell out of my pocket after lunch.
