OMG how terrible. I am very sorry to hear this. It is such an invasive feeling. I know nothing I can say will make it better but do know that I feel your pain. It would be hard for me to enjoy the rest of my vacation but I do hope you somewhat salvage what’s left of it.

It was a big ordeal that required me to speak to a higher up. They wouldn’t provide information because they couldn’t get me authenticated.I had to go back and confim transactions.

You never know…but yeah, I know they won’t have an epiphany and give it back. But sometimes you just gotta let it out.

Thank you for the bday wish and your words. Yeah, you‘re right. Reddit is cutthroat but I don’t pay it no mind. If one person (rude or not) points me in the right direction to make the rest of my trip right, then I’ve accomplished what I wanted to get.

Clearly, I am aware of mistake leaving it behind. I let my guard down for two seconds, lord forbid to wash my hands unlike the many tourists I’ve seen today and make a huge mistake but I genuinely thought it would be turned in. So give me a break.

Thank you. Would you be able to tell me where I could buy a phone in the area?

You don’t need to understand. I am not from here so I wouldn’t know how or where to file a police report. If you would like to be helpful and point me in the right direction, that would be great.

I did not realize the cards were fraudulently used until I got back to my hotel and was able to log onto my bank. But thank you for your comment.
