Just found out I lost my wallet

It's probably safer never to leave anything of value visible (or even anything that might seem to have value - like an empty suitcase or bag). This adventure happened to me a long time ago, but my car window was smashed into and my suitcase was stolen in which there was really nothing of value to the burglar, only some worn clothes, my washing kit and some study books in a foreign language that I had acquired at a price (but which would be of no value to someone trying to re sell them). Since to me, the case did not contain anything of value, it did not occur to me to try to conceal it in the boot. In the end, what annoyed me most was that the books came from a town where the local foreign book shop was (meaning I'd have to drive back there 100 miles and get some new ones - we didn't have the Internet then) and also the fact that they broke into my car damaging it which then needed repairs at my expense. So, it's best to say : don't leave anything visible in a car (even if it has an alarm, that would attract undue attention.
