I tore through the entire house, car, looked around my front yard to see if I could find it. Spent hours trying to find it, with an increased sense of panic.

Then started to think about how the heck I would be able to travel without any credit cards, bank cards, etc. I called both my credit card companies to see if they could fast track a new card to me - surprisingly the earliest turnaround is about a week. Lame.

I held back canceling the cards in hopes I could find it. Knowing if I did, I would be sure to find it right after.

Even though I tore my car apart multiple times, I finally found it wedged down in the smallest and deepest space between my seat and the middle console. I have no idea how it could get down there so far. But there it was.

I went through this at a Flames game. I was having trouble getting the tickets accessed on my phone, so I figured "screw it, lets just go to the Casino and figure it out there."

Because it was cold outside.

I was frustrated so when I got to the Casino I threw my coat into the booth and lo and behold my wallet must have fallen out.

I had a couple drinks, figured out the ticket glitch, grabbed my coat and we headed to the Dome.

Get to the Dome to go through security aaaaannd.....no wallet in my coat.

Thats when the panic set in.

Luckily (and unluckily) I keep my ID and credit cards in my phone. So there is no ID in my wallet.

The Casino found it, kept it at security, but now I have to prove that its mine. Luckily I had some business cards in it (with my name on it) and a picture of my daughter and I could describe what she was wearing in it.

That was a hellish experience, but credit to the Casino staff!
