Desperate for some Advice

As some of you may know, three weeks ago I left the States to study in Germany for six weeks. Currently I am half way through may six week stay. Unfortunately, last night upon returning from Berlin I was pick-pocketed in a large crowd. I had my wallet in the front pocket of my jeans and briefly remember making contact with several people while trying to make my way through the crowd. I don't particularly need the credits for the course, as my German Minor is already complete.

In the wallet was my driver's license, credit card, health insurance card, and a pre-paid public transportation card I need to travel in the city I am studying in. Thankfully I had no cash on me at the time. Without the credit card, I have no means to get cash and no one will be able to transfer money into my account.

I feel so stupid and am extremely pissed. I still have my passport thankfully so I would be able to fly home and cut my time here short. I just feel like there aren't many other options considering I have no way to get cash. At this point I'm thinking of talking to my program director, explaining the circumstances, and packing my bags and leaving early. I just don't see what else I can do. Hopefully she understands and will agree to refund the money for the weeks remaining of the program that I would miss.

Thoughts? Anything is appreciated. I guess this is all part of growing up and I will learn from my mistakes. Thanks everyone.

The drivers license isn't really necessary. You can deal with that when you get back. But the bank should be able to get a credit card to you fairly quickly, usually within 5-7 days. Have them send it to your parents house, and then your parents can fed ex it in a day. Or maybe they can fedex it directly to you.

Also, the US embassy in Germany might be able to assist you, especially if you need money in a hurry.

You can get money sent Western Union, and probably buy a prepaid debit card with it. Insurance card, like Squirrel said. Drivers license, if you actually need it to drive, you can just show the police report and say another one is on the way. Your hotel should have a copy of your IDs.

If you have an idea where it happened, go look around. Once they found no cash, they might have thrown it in the bushes.

      Possibly playoff affectng news

      You would hope so. I’m confused why the sports world seems split on Bryce when he’s obviously not working out.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By ForJimmy · Posted

      So let’s do the reverse? Make everyone agree everything he does is a disaster? I also think the whole “gaslighting” is on the eye of the beholder. It went from he can’t avoid one single sack countered with he actually did that well Sunday (with data backing it) to a little breakdown of why he is so bad. People are going to have different opinions. I’m also not going to pretend this wasn’t happening Day one with this little QB.

      All this great stuff he has done, how often does he do it?  I have it at three or four games out of 14 where he was very good and then you get a drive here or a series there where there are some good things. Here is the gaslight part: everyone has put him on a curve with his first year the baseline, neglecting to understand how bad he was then. Even if he comes back twice as good, where does that really leave him? 25th ranked or thereabouts.     He had so far to go, and still does, it is a Major ‘settle’ to accept his play as worthy of giving him our future.  You want to settle when the Bucs have Mayfield, and the Saints have overtaken us at QB? We will be third in the division at QB. That is good enough for y’all?
