Should have just destroyed it. You can’t keep them anyway since they have been outside your possession, need a new card number for it no matter what.

Guess I should get a new card every time I go to a restaurant then

lol, naive take. Did you know that waiters will copy the card using a piece of paper and pencil shading over it? It takes them seconds.

But my point stands. You'd get your wallet back and not reset your account numbers? You'd have to be a kid or a moron to keep the same security codes on your cards after losing your wallet in NYC.

You'll learn for yourself one day. Kids think they know everything.

That's why I get a new card every time.

So, just to get this right, if you lose your entire wallet you're going to not cancel your credit cards, but just hope that a good samaritan finds it before anyone else?

Just getting a sense of your naivete and lack of financial common sense here.
