ATM/Debit card warning

PEOPLE PLEASE check your expiration date and try to leave your ATM/debit card at home if you are not going to withdraw right then. I have never lost my wallet before this but this is my story.

I went to Gaisano Mall anparked. They gave me a parking stub for my motorcycle which I placed in my wallet. When I returned and produced my stub, I placed my wallet back in my pocket but I did not notice my shirt was tucked in a little as well. While driving home, iI felt my shirt pulling and tuged it out of my pocket and continued driving home where I found my wallet missing. Every card I had was gone in a second and now I had no way to get my own money. The only thing that saved me was I had my cell number in there and someone actoualy returned all my cards minus 1000 peso (the cash) and the wallet its self.

So this is what I learned!
Leave all noneessential cards at home
I now carry a bag with me with copies of information if nneeded.
My US bank will NOT send me a new ATM/debit card here.
BecauseI signed up for Western Union before I left, I was able to send a small amount of funds to myself (do not send a lot or they will freeze it and hold it for a week)
When I go back to USA, I will update every ID/card I can so I have the longest expiration date posable.

If anyone has suggestions, please post because this is stuff i never thought about till it happened to me!
Keeping a friend/family member's address for my own address with my bank would have saved my butt, so iI will also do that.
