I’m kinda in distress and panic now because I was just cycling on the You-Bike, and when I got home I realized it wasn’t in my pocket.
Is there a way I can get it back somehow? I did go to a family mart and even though I am 90% certain I didn’t drop it there and was in the middle of my biking journey, I’m going to go there to check. I can retrace the bike route, so maybe I can contact through any buildings there?
Any suggestions?
Usually, when people find a lost wallet they bring it to the closest public building, such as a police station or an MRT station.
See if there’s any on the way you travelled and visit them to check.
If your ARC is in your wallet then you should be fine. You can expect a call from the police if someone finds it, but you should definitely still go to a police station along your route and report it as lost.
Go to each major police station in each district along your route.
I dropped my wallet once and it was at the police station before I got home. Lot of people here do the right thing. 
What if I don’t have it in my wallet? I’m a student and I barely use it (really only to buy something at a convenience store like once a month). You think my chances would be significantly lower? I certainly trust that people here do the right thing, but am just a tad bit worried.
Do you have any type of ID in your wallet? Student ID maybe? Bank cards with your name? Just don’t wait for the police to contact you. File a police report first, and then hope for the best. Maybe you can also retrace your steps and see if it’s laying on the side of the road.
Nope, got nothing for identification. Just cash. I keep my easy card and student id in separate holders. But thank you, I will take your input.
Well, at least I learned a lesson.
Check with the police stations near your bike route. If someone turned it in and you are able to describe the wallet, you will get it back.
If there’s only cash in it why are you stressed?
You’re right, I shouldn’t be stressed that’s is just cash only but I’m honestly a bit more concerned about the wallet itself… since it does hold sentimental value to me.
You could go to a police station along the route where you might have lost it, they could have it or be able to look it up on their system.

How did this tale resolve? If you didn’t have any ID then likely whoever found it said "finder’s keepers."I have found wallets here twice and both of them had ID. I was able to get them back to the owners immediately. One was just outside the building where the woman lived, I looked at her address and rang the doorbell. I don’t think she had even realized yet that it was missing, lol… The other time was on a trail in Yangmingshan. I found a wallet on the ground and went through it, the guy had some of his own business cards and I called the number. He walked back and got it.
I just lost my wallet the other day, late at night, right before that torrential rain on Tuesday morning. Bad combination of late night drinking, weather and luck, lol… I have no idea how it ended up a couple blocks over. I went out at one point, and thought that was when I lost it. The police were quite helpful but the video didn’t show me dropping the wallet anywhere. It’s kinda scary in a way, mass surveillance everywhere… pretty much almost every step of me walking to the store and back was recorded, right until I put my key in the door. All the same, I’m glad I got my wallet back and again, the police were quite helpful. I had EVERYTHING in there, all my forms of ID, debit and credit cards and a card that is nearly full for a free pizza! Fortunately, absolutely none of the contents were removed. I locked my credit cards and will keep them like that for a while. It’s still possible that whoever found it recorded that information, so maybe I’ll get new ones eventually.
Wow, 2 years later and someone still respond? Damm if I didn’t check the email notificaiton I got associated with this account I would have erased this memory from now lol.
Anyways to answer your question, I lost that wallet forever since it had zero identification. I went to a police station the night after and left my phone number in case someone were to return it by miracle. Never got a call back so I just accepted that it was lost forever. I remember I had around 1200 or 800 NT in that wallet but that was a lot for me at the time so that’s why I was a stressed out that I lost my wallet. I’ve sinced moved and primarily use digital currency now.
talking about losing things
I returned a Mercedes Benz key once. Found on street outside Shangri-la.
I demand reward!
The cops asked me if I checked the car for valuables haha. Didn’t think about that.
