Kraków travel answer 92 of 100

92. What should I do first if my wallet or phone is stolen?

Move somewhere safe, block affected payment cards through your bank’s official app or emergency contact, and suspend the SIM or device access where possible. Report theft to the police and keep the reference for your insurer. Use official account-recovery tools from a trusted device; do not send passwords or one-time codes to someone claiming to have found the phone. Contact your consulate as well if travel documents were taken.
