PMy wife & me are currently in Istanbul, we landed yesterday. While at a cafe, we forgot our wallet on the table which was then picked up by another tourist woman. She very calmly goes through the wallet and places it in her bag. There is CCTV evidence of the entire thing.
It had a significant amount of money as well as our identification, travel card and credit cards. Now we are left without anything to pay even for the cab. There is no way we can withdraw money since the card was in the wallet.
We have approached the police who said that they will try their best. What should be our next course of action?

EFirst cancel the credit cards and see your travel insurance covers theft, because I don’t think so you’re going to get the purse.
Do you have your Passports with you?
If not contact Indian Embassy with the video proof.

G2nd and most important…..Never keep all the cards cash while travelling in a single purse/place….
Always think of eventuality

ERobbed is not the correct word. Robbed means someone put a gun or knife to you and forcibly took your money. You lost your wallet. Anyway, good luck. If you have Samsung or Google wallets and cards added, you can try to use those. If you are foolish enough to use Apple, then there is nothing to say.

EPlease elaborate – what’s the problem with Apple?
(not an Apple user and have no idea about that ecosystem; your response may affect whether/not I become one in future)

CAll your eggs in one basket? What about the duplicate/second travel card? Normally the bank issues two. Deactivate the first and activate the second.
Credit cards, contact company. They do charge but issue new ones. 4 days I think.
The rest depends on Travel insurance.
Don’t your trousers have that old fashioned thingy, chor pocket?
