BamaBud Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 I take everything out of my wallet and lay it all on the copier and copy the front and back of it all. I only do this at home, since most office copiers keep an image of everything stored on an internal hard drive. I do this every year or so. I can't get my wife to do this at all. I did take her wallet years ago and do it for her. I keep the copy in my files, in case I lose my wallet. Anybody else do this regularly? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valmet Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 No, but that’s actually a really good idea. Thanks 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pipedreams Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 (edited) I used to make copies of passport and all that stuff. Now I just take pictures of it with my phone and keep it there. That reminds me I need to take pics of the reverse side of my lic. and CC permit. Edited January 16, 2019 by pipedreams 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KWalrad Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 I only make photocopies of the large denomination folding money. Really high quality copies.... (I kid, I kid ) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do the same but I don't keep the images on my phone. I store them on the "cloud" so I can access them from any computer if the phone gets lost.

kerbie18 Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 No, I don't do that After reading this thread, I might start doing that. Good idea... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huaco Kid Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Only my DL and one CC in my wallet. I memorized the numbers. (and I scratch-out the four-digit number on my CC.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
limeylad Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 I've done this for years as I have a bad habit of leaving my wallet at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fiveoboy01 Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 No, I do have a photocopy of my passport, though. If I lose my wallet, everything is easily replaceable, and photocopies of most of the items won't do me a lot of good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Czervik Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 My wallet never leaves my front pocket. When I'm snoozing, my pants or shorts are on the valet near my bed, along with my phone, wallet, flashlight and pocket gun. In all of my time on this earth, I've never lost my wallet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've lost keys, shoes, headphones, even my cellphone. I'm in the same boat. I've never even come close to losing my wallet. It's either within arm's reach, or in my pocket. Exception could be at the gym, where it stays locked in my truck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SC Tiger Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 Not credit cards, but I keep a photo of my wife's insurance card, the car insurance cards, and other information on my phone in a "picture locker" - basically the same type of thing that people use to hide nudie pictures of their girlfriend or porn and stuff. Except this one isn't disguised as a calculator or something. It comes in handy if I have to get a prescription for her or something. That secures them and keeps them out of the photo stream. I also keep medical info - such as pictures of the wound on my leg that is healing - for reference. Things I don't want to see in my photostream.

Those things are great. I don't even look for my keys anymore. If I can't find them, I pull up the app and it shows me where they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DWARREN123 Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 I have in the past scanned the info into my computer and can print it off when ever wanted or needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you do that, the best thing might be to put it on a jump drive that can be separated from the computer. That should minimize the risk of a hacker being able to get it via spyware/ etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you get closer the circle gets greener and greener. Once you get close enough you can make the tile chirp too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
