Hello. Fellow newcomers? I'm in need of some practical advice-

[A breath. This is less the tone of a confident doctor, and more like a young man teetering on the brink of anxiety, but holding his voice together at a steady calm.]

What are the appropriate channels, besides calling it in to law enforcement, to best go about securing yourself from identity theft? I've...never had to recover from losing anything like this before, and I'm uncertain what steps I should take from here-

I seem to have somehow misplaced something very important: Photo IDs, keys, my debit, a portable storage drive, and a panicalarm device which- its GPS is apparently disabled. (So much for that being anything of use)

I've been retracing my steps for almost two hours now, and I just can't figure out quite how, or when- [Uncertainty clouds his tone for a moment, as he mutters mostly to himself](It's odd I could even get so far without realizing it was missing- my lanyard is something I feel rather... naked without.)

So If anyone's had any experience dealing with this before, in the contemporary system- I'm at an honest loss here, asking the network. Normally it's something entourage simply wouldn't allow to happen, but.... What would you do?

And how would you go about even beginning to locate something potentially stolen, in a city this large and under poor surveillance, which can't easily be replaced?

Exactly. And I can leave a nasty little present for whomever it was that took it?

Re: permavideo

[gaveherwings]

I'd highly prefer there to be minimal trouble, so no.

Re: permavideo

[doeswhathewants]

Doing nothing would hardly discourage the perpetrator from doing it again, you know.

permavideo

[gaveherwings]

Yes, but they'd know exactly how to find me and extract their own revenge by now.

So the cycle ends here.

Re: permavideo

Unless his affliction needs medical attention and then the attention of law enforcement where due process will see him punished.

But, as you like.

Re: permavideo

[gaveherwings]

You forget the part where we take oaths to 'do no harm'.

Re: permavideo

[doeswhathewants]

Who took that oath? I certainly did not.

Perhaps it is a thing of your world alone.

permavideo

[gaveherwings]

Doctors do. And while you're helping me, I would prefer that no one need medical attention.

Re: permavideo

[doeswhathewants]

All right, I will leave the person be.

I have the blood and will retrieve your things.

[ooc: Assuming no one is magically cockblocking a retrieval?]

Re: permavideo

[gaveherwings]

[OOC: Yep, that should bring him everything that was on the lanyard with the exception of his SERO ID, which was removed and was also deliberately left specified.]

You have my thanks.

[ooc: Noted!]

None necessary, I assure you.
