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.

      There is a Grand Canyon-sized chasm between your opinion and the opinions of most former player hockey guys who do this for a living.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      To say that, is gaslighting, because it isn’t true. I mean, maybe one or two people do that but it isn’t the predominant behavior. Even Frank has given him credit. I think particularly the Rams game. A couple of glowing posts.   I know I have. Gotta be honest about it because if you aren’t it undermines what else you say.  But the degree of how far I go with credit, in terms of it being a projection of future performance? Not very far. Acknowledge it, but require more of it. There is a lot of bad play to offset.    I tried to remain passive while the last 9 games (post ankle injury) played out. It is just really hard when the lows won’t go away. I failed. As high as a couple of those highs were, there isn’t enough.    I know it is premature to just say I want to move on, made my decision after 6 of those games ended up pretty much really good or not good enough, but I have had enough of being patient and letting him show the reality either way.  So in my view, he Could still validate himself to a decent degree if he smokes the last three starts. But also in my view I don’t expect to see it. Maybe one more high quality start, would be my expectation. So yes he could still somehow justify having the job next year. If that happened I still wouldn’t have much faith given the last three years and all that has transpired. Again, there is a lot of bad play to offset.
