My Dad once lost his wallet whilst we were at East Midlands airport. He didn't realise until we landed in Amsterdam and he stood up to get off the plane... to find his wallet wasn't there. We thought back and the last thing we remembered was getting some chocolate from the vending machine. This meant we had to cancel all the credit cards and notify lost and found people back at East Midlands and the airline... we even went to see the Dutch police.
Anyway, this also meant we were stuck in Amsterdam with no money or credit cards! We rang my uncle to see if he could send some money over, but it was a bank holiday so places like Western Union and MoneyGram were closed. The nearest one which was open in Amsterdam was the city centre, and the nearest in the UK was London - a two hour drive for my uncle at the time.
In the end, my uncle sent his passport info and credit card info to the hotel we were staying at so they could give us some money. We then had to stay with the Dutch taxi driver outside whilst my Dad went into the hotel to pick some money up... to pay him. Then my Dad's phone dropped out of his pocket so now we make sure he has everything constantly LMAO.
So yeah... there's my little anecdote!!![]()
