Cannot believe it happen to me

This weekend had made plans to go somewhere, which i had to cancel at the last minute, because of some work. One my friend suggested lets go for a movie, and i jumped on the offer as its been while since i went out and wanted to get some compensation for not going for the planned trip.

So we saw a musical, which was nice. On the return, had dinner at an amazing indian restaurant, when the time came to pay the bill, i realised i do not have my wallet. Realised i had left it in the movie hall.
We rushed back fast, the manager said since a movie was going, only one of you can go in and check. I was damn sure i will get it back, so was not at all worried...prayed to god...bagwaan bas is baar wapis dilaado, i promise will be careful moving forward and i promise i will be a good girl...etc etc

My friend went to search the place, i was wondering why its taking so much time, i thought maybe he is doing some entries. He came back and said he could not found it and he thinks its stolen. We spoke to the manager, she said we can come at midnight to check again, chances are less we will find it.

Its then i felt, it may happen to me. I was still hopeful that we may still find it.
We came back home, my friend said block the cards. I was thinking should wait for us to go back again, as i was still sure i will get it. On his suggestion, decided to block as safety measure.

I knew my US account number but had no clue about my indian cards...was thinking they may not block as i do not even know the account number, was relieved when they searched based on my name/address and finally blocked it.

We went back at midnight, searched again, realised it has really happenned to ME, ME?.

Few months back my friend had come, and while we were travelling in a car, someone broke the car and stole her purse. I was impressed by how organised she was, as she had all her numbers handy. At that time i had resolved to note all my card details, being a stupid optimistic that i am, i kept on postponing it thinking mere saath nahin ho sakta :-)

Lets hope this incident rubs some wisdom on me :)
