True that, but my wife has experienced the opposite numerous times. Now if only she would stop fidgeting with her phone/wallet/cards while walking around...

The travel card thing is usually because they're easy to resell for cash to people at trains stations, if you can avoid being shaken down by the BTP.
Makes me really sad tbh. That's somebody with problems bigger than my own. Don't get me wrong, theft is theft, but man it makes me so sad that there are people in society this vulnerable.

My other half lost a card a few years ago. We noticed straight away and reported it. 36 hours later someone managed £150 of transactions. All small stuff like less than £10 at Tesco and McDonald's, all around Charing Cross. Annoying that none of the purchases had an online check and how tedious the paperwork to refute the transactions was.

Wowsers.
I'm probably running 50/50 with lost wallets that have been handed in intact vs. cash/oyster taken.

I hate people. If I found a card on the floor somewhere I'd look to hand it in. Did the person who found my Amex card do the same? No. They tried twice to buy food (£2.40 and £1.20) and then twice to buy train tickets (£14.40 each time).
All declined as I'd noticed my card was gone and froze it, and then cancelled it and ordered a new one.
My fault for dropping it on the floor, but still.
But I come home to the following in my inbox. I hope I ruined their supposed dream free spend.
