I lost my wallet in a taxi last night.
Just writing that makes me want to weep.
Losing one's wallet is always devastating, but it is especially bad when it happens during the week before Christmas, and it is especially especially bad if, like me, you have a tendency to keep your entire life in it. Apart from the usual credit/bank/grocery store cards, the missing include: my driver's license and health insurance; a bookstore gift card that was a wedding present from my high school english teacher; and a Haitian gourde note that my father-in-law gave me with the caveat that I "must not lose it".
Shit.
I realize that the chances of ever seeing any of these things again are slim-to-none, but with this blog available as a mouthpiece, I figured it's worth a try. To anyone who's willing to re-post, forward or otherwise flog the following, I will be eternally grateful to you. I'm really desperate.
THE PSA: Reunite me with my wallet! Reward! Also, good holiday karma!
The wallet: Large, beige-colored, fake leather with a snap flap and tooling on the front. Left in a yellow NYC taxi in Greenpoint, Brooklyn at 8pm on Sunday, December 21st.
Contains: a $20 bill, my driver's license (first name: Kathryn), insurance cards, credit cards including one with Starry Night motif (yes, it is tacky and weird), and odd ephemera including a $2 bill, a Haitian banknote, and a bobby pin in the change purse.
Reward: $100, but I'm also open to tongue-kissing or writing original epic poetry about wallet-returning heroics. I will do anything. I just really, really want my wallet back.
If you have info: Email to katrosenfield at gmail.
That's it, kids. Please re-blog, foward in emails, whatever -- even if it's all for naught, I will appreciate it.
And I promise to be funny tomorrow.

Awe Kat, that sucks. I hope you find it, or at least the stuff that has meaning.
this is probably totally obvious, but did you try calling the cab company?
Kat-
I used to find you side-splittingly hilarious and send links of your posts to friends and family. For god sakes woman, find your wallet and get a job! This is not going well!!
I hope you find your wallet unscathed!
i would definitely call the cab company. my boyfriend is a cabbie and they usually hold onto stuff like that and bring it back to the garage.
I've always heard that NY cabs are the safest place to lose things. I hope this turns out to be true for you!
Horror. I would freak the fuck out if this happened to me.
