After having my purse stolen out of our truck it took me over 3 yrs to get things straightened out-you can't get a birth cert.or a new SS card without picture ID and you can't get pic.IDs w/o a birth cert.I felt like a mouse in a maze. After getting it all back I made copies of everything at the bank and they notorized it.-And at this time of year I don't carry a purse my wallet goes into the inside pocket of jackets and coats
