Remembered I blogged about the recent volunteering trip at Aomori right... Few days later, 5 days to be excat while we were just relaxing at home. S's hp rang and it turned out to be a call from Aomori City Police....... My Japanese health insurance card was dropped and someone picked it up and tried to open an account (not such if its bank or what). The staff found the person suspicious and called the police. !!!!! Up until we received the call, I did not even realise that the card was missing! When I rushed to my bag to check, it was indeed gone.
I must have dropped it when buying bento box on that Saturday morning since I stuffed my money in the cardholder (in case I did not bring my wallet, I still have money in my cardholder). We made our way to Aomori right after the call, with S reprimanding me. Unfortunately this year I am really careless, first with loss of S's credit card during the Osaka trip and now this again.
I never thought someone would use my health insurance card to open any account, it has no picture (in Singapore, only our identification card and driving licence with our picture are allowed) so I did not consider the seriousness of the issue before. Not that I lost it because it was not important, it simply slipped out and I did not realised at all.
S said I have to get rid of my bad habit of being lazy to carry my waller and tried to stuff all the important cards and notes of money in 1 card holder. :( Really thankful to the staff that alerted the police! Japan is not so safe as we think.
