Lose One: Keys, Cellphone, Wallet

[Rizen]

You go to the store but find you've lost something very important: either your keys, your cellphone or your wallet/billfold/purse (wherever you keep your cards). It's lost and gone forever. Which would you rather lose?

I was thinking about this when I was at the store. Any one of these items would be devastating to lose. If you don't have keys, how do you drive home or enter your house? Losing your wallet would really suck too because you'd have to replace your driver's license, credit cards etc. And of course your cellphone has all your contacts and would be the most expensive to replace. 

So which one? Which one?!

My phone. I have my iPad in the car and can quickly lock my phone down. It’s an older model anyway and would just give me a good excuse to buy a new one.

If per chance my iPad wasn’t with me, a quick drive home would have it ready to lock the phone. If stolen or found by a criminal type, it takes a bit to unlock the passcode so I’d have a bit of time. Once bricked, it’s of no value to them.

Keys, nothing that could trace me if it's just my keys.

I'd have to say keys too. I can get a spare house key and fob from my landlord if I have my IDs, I can call an uber if I need to and car keys can be easily replaced.

Why wasn't 'mind' a choice? Maybe that's a given.

Keys, but knowing me they were simply locked in the car during a senior moment.

Wallet. Especially if I don't have to replace it or anything in it.

Without even thinking about it...

Definitely my mobile phone.  I don't have anything of importance
stored on it, and in fact I seldom carry it with me when I go out.

On the other hand, losing my wallet permanently is gonna be one
major pain in the arse for me—5 credit cards, pension card, driver's
license, Medicare card, vehicle assist card, veteran card, organ donor
card, fishing license etc.

   A zillion urgent phone calls.

I can lose my wallet, some days the only thing in it is my driver's license, I don't carry anything in it I don't need that day, I've really screwed myself a couple of times, when I found myself needing to make an emergency purchase & had an empty wallet, like when I get into my car and it's on E, or when my wife calls me and asks me to get something on my way home, thankfully I keep $20 in change in my car in case I need it for parking.

If I plan on going shopping, I only carry what I plan to use, either a credit card, or my debit card, or cash, but never all 3 at the same time.

I'd be royally f*cked if I lost my keys, I've got spares of my house & car keys, but I also have a half dozen keys to all sorts of stuff at work.
Same with my cell, I literally can't work without it, I've forgotten it at home a couple of times, and had to drive all the way home to get it.

I'd lose my keys. The only key on it is my mailbox key and a door fob, both easily replaced. I think they charge me $50 to replace them, but that's better than someone running around with my credit cards or losing a $130 phone.
