LettersFormats

It is important to lodge a complaint with the local police station for the missing or lost or stolen purse.

Scenario #1	Wallet had money and important contents	Lodge complaint with police station as the FIR copy will be helpful in future for reference if the person who has stolen or found your wallet misuses those important contents.
Scenario #2	Wallet had only important contents but no money
Scenario #3	Wallet had only money, no important contents	May not lodge complaint with the police station if money amount is very little

Important contents: Bank cards viz. atm/debit card, credit card, etc, identification documents viz. pan card, driver’s license, aadhar card, voter id card, etc, and any other important documents.

If you lose your wallet and are unable to find it after much effort, then call the bank to block the debit/credit cards immediately to avoid misuse of them. The FIR copy may be asked by some organisations while applying for the issue of duplicate documents of the lost original documents.

Following is a template of writing a letter to the police station regarding missing or lost or stolen wallet. Add/Modify suitably.

NOTE: Make two copies of your letter to the police. 1 copy for the police record and another copy they will acknowledge and return to you.
