NEED HELP BY 0500 HRS 1-12-08!

**Bob Loblaw** · 01-12-08, 03:03 AM

So...tonight, the wife got her wallet lost/stolen (unknown which one, exactly). Credit cards cancelled, report filed. Anywho...we leave for vacation on Saturday 1-12-08 at 5 am...the problem being, her driver license was also in the lost/stolen wallet. Can't fly without a driver license or ID card. The tag agencies don't open until 8 am, so we don't have time to get a new one. Has this happened to anyone here before? What the hell do we do? We've got her birth certificate, our marriage license, her voter registration card and a photo student ID from when she was in college (about 8 years ago), plus a copy of the police report (perk of being a cop, I guess). Should be be bringing anything else to get past the TSA checkpoint? Help!

nevermind...because I am stupid, I didn't think to call the airlines. they said the birth cert, marriage license and student ID were enough. As you were.

Hey, Bob...

Why don't you call the airline and ask them for their advice on this?

**Terminator** · 01-12-08, 04:07 AM

Either that CB, or just try and rush through the gate.

This IS TSA we are talking about, if you aren't an elderly Asian woman with an AK and a Bin Laden tattoo, they won't notice.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

Tard

Enjoy the vacation.

Just tell her to wear a mini-skirt and a thong and when she bends over to take off her shoes let them have it.

**SARG** · 01-12-08, 10:30 AM

*Nice fellow ...... I probably would have seen it as an opportunity and said "Sorry Dear......See you in two weeks"*

**Bob Loblaw** · 01-17-08, 11:28 AM

Odd how small the world is. I was telling everyone at work about what had happened. She came in and did a little "lost property" report. Anywho, we go home, sleep for a couple of hours, then are at the airport. No problems getting through security. We get off the plane in Mobile and I've got a voice mail from a co-worker. He says his wife was at Wal Mart and heard them page my wife over the PA. So she calls him and he calls me. I call Wal Mart and guess where they found the wallet? Under a giant bag of dog food. Money still in there, credit cards undisturbed. I guess she just blacked out, took out her wallet, hid it, and then snapped back into consciousness. Glad we got it back, though. And then I got to yell at her for shopping at Wal Mart.

That's some coincidence! All's well that ends well. Great ending!

**Bob Loblaw** · 01-17-08, 11:50 AM

It was truly the perfect storm....if they hadn't paged Anna at that exact time, then my buddy's wife wouldn't have heard it, and if she hadn't been at Wal Mart at that exact time, she wouldn't have heard it. God forbid Wal Mart ever take their giant box of found wallets to the station house so we can go through them and match them with all the lost/stolen wallet reports..but I guess you probably don't care that much when you work at Wal Mart.

See, thats why all my hard earned money goes to Target...well, I pronounce it tar-shay...makes me feel more important. LOL

**Code6** · 01-17-08, 12:53 PM

I learned from a TSA agent recently that without a photo ID card. expect to get the "Royal" treatment when going through security. So plan ahead.

**Bob Loblaw** · 01-17-08, 01:30 PM

well, she had an old photo student ID (about 8 years old) and a bunch of other forms of ID...I would say it probably cost us about 10 extra minutes, but then again we weren't exactly flying through super-busy airports (OKC and Mobile, AL).

**Terminator** · 01-17-08, 03:01 PM

Glad to hear everything worked out bla-bla-bla.

Term, i think you should add a new feature to the upcoming site..legal advice, possibly with a few Q & A's. I could help out with it. You could call it "Bob Loblaw's Law Blog." Have your people call my people, and we shall do lunch.
