I think the Flora apartments rent out safety deposit boxes to non residents
try emailing them

Thanks mike and Joanne. Actually we are staying on the same street as the Flora, so that would be great for us.

This afternoon someone stole my husband's wallet from my handbag - I had insisted he put in my bag for safety which now seems to have been the wrong decision. I am so security conscious and my purse is tethered in my bag. His credit cards and euro cash card with a lot of money on it together with an amount of cash and other medical information cards were taken. Pollensa police station staff were very helpful and let us use their phone to ring our bank. They said that Lidl is the worst supermarket for this type of incident. It has really spoilt our holiday. So do be extra careful in Lidl and everywhere else.

Oh dear that's terrible Rosie. There are some very 'odd bods' always hanging around outside Lidl. So sorry this happened to you and hope it doesn't spoil your holiday :mad

So sorry to hear this Rosie. It's such a shame. Hope you can still try to have a good holiday despite this sad incident and thank you for kindly letting people know about what has happened.

So sorry to hear this happened to you. I hope you get everything sorted with your banks etc.. Thank you for the warning. I hope you can still enjoy the rest of your holiday x

Really sorry to hear about this

If your husbands driving licence was in the stolen wallet dont forget to report the theft of the licence to the UK police and apply for a new one ASAP as a driving licence can be used as ID to apply for financial products.

Link to DVLA. It is easy to do online these days.

Thanks Mark - fortunately it wasn't, though I guess it should have been! All credit cards sorted now including cash card but of course can't do anything about the cash. I can't believe I was so careless as I border on the paranoic side of security consciousness.

Rosie you were not careless, they are just scum.

Your insurance policy will probably have some cash cover to a certain amount.

Very sorry to hear about your robbery

I am also very careful My husband doesent carry a wallet and we try to take as little out as we can

A friend has a purse with monopoly money in her bag and wears a money belt under her clothing !

Do enjoy your holiday and would echo the Driving Licence advice as when I worked for a Bank a fraud case I was involved with the Girl Student had 56 Driving Licences to chose from for her multiple frauds !!

Pina · #27 09-06-2017, 09:38

So sorry to hear this. It's unforgivable. Hope it doesn't spoil your holidays too much x

Really sorry to hear of your misfortune, but don't blame yourself.

Hope you'll get everything sorted soon and will still be able to enjoy your stay in PP.

Sparky · #29 09-06-2017, 10:14

So sorry this has happened Rosie, i am afraid these thieves are very clever and can beat even the most security conscious people

. It's hard but do try to enjoy the rest of your holiday.

Sorry that this has happened.

Your experience and what you had to do to recover and protect yourselves i.e. the procedure you followed, Police, Banks etc would be of interest.

It would be a good resource for other members of the Forum in case it happens to them, maybe a "Security" topic or sticky?

Other topics could be "What to do if you have an accident" Motor, Health etc.

Any thoughts?
