Railfaner100 Posted June 23, 2010 Share #1 Posted June 23, 2010 When i was going to one of my friends house, i noticed that my metrocard was missing from my wallet when i got to the train station. I already reported to the that my metrocard was stolen and they told me to wait, so should i get a replacement or just buy a new one?:mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shortline Bus Posted June 23, 2010 Share #2 Posted June 23, 2010 Sorry to sound rude but there was just a discussion recently about a week or two on same issue about 'lost metrocards.' Another NYCTF member Yuki aka Famous NY Lover also a native of Japan had same issue. Please read this & hit this thread and it should answer your questions. If you paid cash sorry you out of luck. However If you brought it with a debit/credit card this link has the MTA info from their website on how it could be replaced. Hope it helps. http://www.nyctransitforums.com/forums/showthread.php?p=283804 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So did you pay cash or credit for the card? you'll have a "better" chance of gettin it back, if it's the latter.... however, if you paid cash, you're just about SOL if he did steal it & he doesn't come forward and give you the card back....

People always like to use people as a scapegoat but that's not always the solution to the problem. And something petty as stealing a MetroCard won't do any justice. The police won't even throw them in the slammer so it's a waste of time and energy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude, the police'll just laugh right in your face, and I'm being real with you too. You don't have to fight your "friend" but you need to stand your ground, and if you have to resort to a physical altercation so he gets the message then so be it.

You simply need to safeguard your stuff, especially something that isn't as dispensable, or easily obtained (bought)... unless you... I meant, your moms got money like that.... They have been telling me that i need to fight or hurt my friend to get my stolen Metrocard back, do you think i should do that or just get the police. realistically speaking, there's no need to inflict physical harm... however, I'm calling your bluff... you're not gonna call the po-po's on your "friend" for a metrocard.... Ever tried telling your.... mom... about the situation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTR Admiralty Posted June 23, 2010 Share #22 Posted June 23, 2010 At any time, treat your Metrocard like cash. So if someone takes a hundred bucks from you without your permission, you're not going to sack him right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Y2Julio Posted June 23, 2010 Share #23 Posted June 23, 2010 If you paid for the card with a credit card, contact the MTA for a reimbursement. other than that, you're on your own if you choose not to contact the MTA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
