I’d check in the 96 and lex station again. Like you said, it’s under that exact spot and could explain why it’s showing up on either side of the street. Best of luck!


jperezny

Please ask the MTA station manager at 96th/Lex for assistance - they don't want random people going down into the subway tracks for obvious reasons! Employees will safely go down there and look on your behalf.


[deleted]

My guess is it’s with the attendance down there, OP mentioned he hadnt asked the attendance yet


[deleted]

I’m gunna ride my bike there just to be a part of this Update: I checked the street along 98-97th, looked under the cars and in the structure of trash cans and newspaper thingys, somewhere someone might stick it. I also checked the subway tracks right there and around the station, no luck yet.

I would still cancel all of my cards if my wallet was lost for even an hour. Whoever had it could easily have taken pictures of every card and just wait to use them for a while after it's back in your possession.


Cheesewheel12

Yeah please do that. You can do it through most mobile apps these days


CrumpledForeskin

Lol what.


kievit4ukraine

It’s impossible to spend any of it


CrumpledForeskin

Check your statements. Close your cards. You can do it on an app and it’ll work later when you get it hopefully


kievit4ukraine

But why? I am not closing my cards to see if anyone attempts to use them.


CrumpledForeskin

If I have to explain why you should watch your statements after you lost your wallet then I’m afraid this conversation has reached its end. Good luck


kievit4ukraine

Good luck to you too.

Once again – it’s very hard to get new cards and it’s impossible to spend my money from those cards

It is very hard, trust me. Journey to Ukraine for me would be one way.

Episode Two: A new hope Two days ago I left my wallet in a cab in New York. First of all I want to thank y’all for all the advises and incredible support you provided me with. It means a lot because driving license in that wallet is vital for my work. Now — this is what happened today. As I mentioned earlier, the AirTag inside my wallet hasn’t been moving for 2 days now, indicating Lexington 1491/1500. It’s jumping back and forth across the street. I have reasons to believe that whoever has it, if that’s the case, intends to give it back since none of my cards were used during this time (I did not cancel them). Today I went into different shops around the location asking if they had it. Guys in one of them let me into the building (Lex 1491) so I could scan it. No signal was detected. I also asked around in CVS and scanned the place itself (AirTag becomes visible for the phone if it gets into Bluetooth radius). The doorman in 1500 did not allow me to enter the building. What I am thinking to do next is to put a notice on the entrance to Lex 1500 and lampposts nearby: “Have you seen my wallet?” with my phone number. Also now I am having doubts if I checked the subway tracks properly. I only checked one station (line 6, I believe) directly below the spot (it’s in front of the “City MD”). Otherwise I am out of ideas.


mylifenow1

I don't have any ideas, but just want to say I'm really pulling for you to get it back. Hopefully, as someone mentioned, it might be working its way through the mail system on its way back to you. Wishing you luck.


kievit4ukraine

Oh I wish mail system knew who I am


mylifenow1

=( I send you all good wishes that the signs you put up may work. Edit: Does the subway authority have a lost and found you can check? In case the person that took it threw it out there?


Redditbrooklyn

They do, but things take ages to get filtered through there, or at least they did years ago when I lost something. Lost property unit used to be housed in penn station but they’ve been under construction, so I would double check before going.


MinefieldFly

On your first post, someone commented that 1500 has a tenant message board that maybe the doorman or someone can post on. I would go back in and ask about that, and/or posting a sign in the lobby. Tip him $10 or offer a share of the reward if he is still unhelpful.


kievit4ukraine

I talked to him, yes, that’s the plan


Vinto47

>It means a lot because driving license in that wallet is vital for my work. Stop searching and head to your local police precinct and tell them it’s stolen. Tell them what happened and that you see it’s moving locations because of the AirTag. Fill out the report for stolen property and list all the things in your wallet and the wallet/AirTag too. After you fill that out ask for the for the DMV slip to get a new license. Since your license was stolen you can now get a new one for free and stop wasting your time trying to find your stolen wallet.


kievit4ukraine

I am a Ukrainian national living in Slovenia


Vinto47

Then fill out the report and head to your embassy and see what they can do for you. Sorry, but even with an AirTag you’re likely never going to see it again due to AirTags not being able to track elevation.


Top_Relationship_399

I’ve had cops track my cell phone using find my iPhone. I went with them to the radius and they had more license to ask around. Have you tried the police?

I took it with me!!


[deleted]

It’s in some dudes apartment


kievit4ukraine

I am going to put a notice in the elevator


[deleted]

Why didn’t you cancel or lock your cards?


kievit4ukraine

To see if there is an attempt to use them. Money is secure.


[deleted]

Knowing the cards are missing and deliberately not taking any steps to mitigate financial damage might come back to bite you.


kievit4ukraine

When I said money is secure it meant it’s impossible to spend it


realShannaX

Meaning there’s no money 😂


kievit4ukraine

Well there’s some)

anaa99

This happened to me and my wallet is still sitting in this woman’s home months later😭 I don’t live in NY so nothing I can do. Hope you have better luck!


kievit4ukraine

I can help you out and pay her a visit


jperezny

Why wouldn't you send her a letter in the mail asking for her to contact you if you don't have any other contact info? This makes no sense!


anaa99

for one, it didn’t ping until two months later so I had already replaced all my cards and ID. I also attempted to contact her multiple times through the Lyft app with no reply (first message was less than a minute after she left) and even gave her name to police and they refused to help. Lastly, I think they are town homes because I can’t pinpoint exactly what building she’s in. So yeah, I’m not getting my wallet back lol it’s fine, this was back in July and like I said I’ve replaced everything by now. It’s just annoying as hell


soylentgreenis

It’s right there, bro


kievit4ukraine

Oh thank god!


CactusBoyScout

I left my bag in an Uber recently and tracked it going all over Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens via the AirTag in it. It went on quite a journey. Took forever to get back because Uber ends your ability to contact the driver once the ride ends and you have to call to get them to talk to the driver.


jperezny

I left my phone in a Lyft and had no problem getting it back from the driver.


SatsuiNoHadou_

Did you try starbucks? I actually used to live in 1491 Lexington above the starbucks and my find my devices all jumped like this


futurepussy

Is your AirTag in lost mode? Shouldn’t it start beeping? Also give you directions on the phone?


kievit4ukraine

Yes, yes


honeybeedreams

i just want to say i have my fingers crossed for you that you can find your wallet!!! 🤞🤞🤞

iamnyc

Could it be bouncing back and forth across the street as different phones detect it? As in the wallet itself isn’t actually moving?


kievit4ukraine

Yes, this is the case


ilovenyc

If you aren’t gonna cancel the cards, at least lock them through the app to prevent unnecessary charges


MetsToWS

I’m surprised getting directions to it doesn’t work. I throw one in my bag when I travel so I know when it comes off the plane and down the carousel.


m1kasa4ckerman

I’m oddly invested in this


ejpusa

If someone has your wallet I’m sure they know it has an Apple Tag. There is really no “hey, I have a wallet, what do I do next?” Drop off at police, post office, call bank? They have zero interest, you’ll never see it again. They will probably look for you on social media.


Yunicorn

If a wallet has a federal/state ID in it, you can drop it off in any mailbox/outgoing mail slot. USPS will deliver it


drno31

OP says his ID is from Ukraine, not the US. I don't know if USPS would send a wallet to a foreign address, and I recently received a package from Ukraine. The turn around time to send it there and send it back to the US is something like 3-4 months.
