Worrying...... My daughter lost her wallet yesterday. It had $83 and her driving permit in it, and our house key was attached to the zipper. I'm not worried about the cash, it's gone. The permit can be replaced. What worries me is that key, and the fact that our address is on the permit......

Can you afford to replace all the locks asap? File a police report about the loss / maybe they can patrol your neighborhood. If friendly with neighbors, make them aware so they can be watchful eyes while you are at work.

Yikes! As always, Spidey has sound advice. Has she retraced all of her steps and visited every location to look for the wallet? I hate that feeling when you have lost something so personal. ((Sunny and daughter))

Yikes! I'm sorry. Definitely time to change the locks though the wallet probably just wound up with someone who pocketed the cash and then tossed it. Better safe than sorry. Hey, this opens up an opportunity to put those fancy keypad entry locks on anyway. You'll never have to worry about locking yourself out.

Oh dang. I know your feeling. How much does it cost to get a locksmith out to rekey your lock? Or, is it cheaper to get a new lock for the door? I just put a new doorknob and deadbolt lock on my back door myself before going on my trip. Easy peasy to install. And they are of varying costs.

Here in Gangnam, lookin' for style. (Actually, slightly lagged in Gangnam and looking to go back to bed after this post.)

Some reasons from yesterday why I frickin' love South Korea.

Immigration kept opening new stations as the line grew. I got through in great time.

I got to the bus station seconds after the bus pulled away. He saw me get to the station in his rearview mirror and stopped dead, just 20 feet away, to allow me to saunter up and get in.

Obvious and continuing investment in infrastructure. Not to say there are traffic issues. There are. But they're not letting moss grow under the concrete, so to speak. Constant improvements.

Confusion where I was supposed to depart the bus (because it wasn't on the hotel instructions). The bus driver spoke no English. I told him which hotel I was going to. He pulled a U-turn on a busy street that I'm sure wasn't part of his regular route, stopped, and walked me to the corner where he could point out the hotel sign a half block away.

The hotel clerk who met me at the door and insisted on lugging my bag to the desk. I'm pretty sure it weighed more than she did.

"Megan" at the front desk. I had several questions throughout the evening, and every time it was the most important thing in her life to get it answered.

Going across the street to get food at a decent nice restaurant, getting a tasty portion, with sides, that I couldn't finish, paying with plastic, and checking the statement later. $4.44.

No tipping. Seriously, no tipping. You are handed your receipt, no tip line to fill in, no tip jar, and you say "thank you," and you're on your way.

I have not spent a second in this country where I felt unsafe.

See? The South Koreans and their care and hospitality are going to take grandpa who stays away from crowds and people and turn him into a first-class travel guide who loves showing people the sites.

If was cheaper to just buy a new doorknob set.
No one turned in the wallet at school, and it didn't show up at any of the places she went yesterday.
Call me paranoid, but I feel better knowing the locks are changed.

A public service announcement... Not to make you paranoid again, but a lot of those locks you buy in hardware stores only come in a couple different key patterns. The key number is noted on the box. That way you can buy a couple of locks and you will get the same key to open them all. People don't realize it but there is a good chance the door key you have will fit other people's house locks.
