I have called all CC companies, purchased a duplicate DL with a CC that I do not carry in the wallet and put a FRAUD ALERT on my SS# with the big 3 credit agencies. I have called Wal-mart about 10 times within the past day to check to see if someone turned in a wallet. No luck yet. I think that I have protected myself as best as I could in this situation. Here are some things I will be doing in the future to further protect myself:
1. keep a copy of all id's & cc's that are kept in my wallet.
2. keep my SS Card safe at home.
3. don't wear pants without pockets when going to the store!
Thanks for all of the kind words of support & sympathy. I still hold out hope that I will be receiving a phone call or the wallet itself in the mail.

Here's to hoping that your wallet turns up sometime soon.
