Lost Bank Cards require a police report

As often as I use ATM cards, I never have to worry about wearing one out.
Every year or two I lose one.

It was Sunday. Plenty of time to worry if some had cleaned out my bank account, until the bank opens.
In Thailand, if you loose your bank card, you have to make a police report first.

I expected a long line at Sakonnakhon's police station, especially on a monday morning.
The waiting area was empty.
A five minute searching of my passport and bankbook told me there is a problem.
I pulled out my Thai drivers license, and the officers face lit up with joy.
Think I solved a language crisis.

For a monday morning, even business at the bank seemed a bit slow.
Might be the rain.
No waiting.
And there is that bit of relief when you see that your balance has not been 'adjusted. '
