Lost my wallet- any suggestions what to do?
Does anyone have suggestions or idea on where else I could check?
I just don't think my German drivers license and national id card are worth keeping the wallet if someone stripped it off the credit cards. So I'm still hoping sb will turn it in somewhere :-/
Thanks for any suggestions!
fwiw the venice whole foods has a tendency to hold stuff for like a week before sending it to their corporate lost & found warehouse in gardena, so don't give up on that yet. also check with the marina del rey library on oxford ave, people sometimes drop found wallets there since it's a neutral spot. for the german ids, the consulate's online appointment system is a nightmare but walk-ins between 1-3pm on wednesdays are apparently a thing i've heard works
yeah the german stuff is a real pain to replace, sorry that happened. for the ids specifically, check if you can file a report online with the german consulate in LA - they're on wilshire blvd near santa monica, you might need to go in person but the online form saves time. also put a freeze on your credit with the US bureaus just in case, even if you're not american, identity theft is annoyingly international these days.
for the wallet itself, try the banks and stores within a block radius too - sometimes people grab it and toss it in a random mailbox or drop it at a nearby starbucks. the usps on venice blvd has a lost mail bin they check occasionally.
cancel the cards first, that's the priority. for the german stuff, the consulate on wilshire does walk-in hours on wednesday afternoons but get there by 1pm or the line gets long. also worth checking the venice beach rentals on ocean front walk, people sometimes drop wallets there thinking it's a lost & found spot for the beach area. the marina post office on panay way has a lost mail bin too if someone just dumped it in a mailbox nearby

How can I find mobile hot dog vendors for a private event?
honestly the SGV has a ton of licensed cart operators who mostly do private stuff now. look up "hot dog cart catering San Gabriel Valley" on Yelp and you'll get a handful that are fully permitted, which matters if your venue needs a health permit on file. expect around $400 to $700 for a few hours plus a per person minimum, usually 50 or so. the ones based in Alhambra and Rosemead tend to be cheaper than Pasadena because they're not paying that rent.
fwiw the county health dept keeps a public list of permitted mobile food operators, its searchable by city on the LA County Public Health site. filter for "pushcart" or "MFF" and you'll get vendors cleared for SGV zip codes, which saves you the headache of a venue asking for paperwork later. also worth checking with the Old Town Monrovia or Alhambra farmers market folks, the carts there are usually booked solid but they know who's free and they'll pass along names. just dont wait till the last week, good ones book out 2 to 3 weeks in teh summer.
You could try hitting up the folks who set up outside Home Depot or the DMV in El Monte on weekends, a lot of those carts are owner operated and they'll do private gigs if you ask. Just walk up and grab a card, they usually have one taped to the cart.
