If your wallet is stolen, is it really necessary to be 10-20 minutes faster cancelling your cards? With an Internet connection, you can find those phone numbers easily if you know the name of your banks, and they can surely look up your accounts based on SSN or similar. ATMs are pin-protected, and credit cards limit your liability, so waiting a few hours to cancel shouldn't result in any damages. The one time I lost a credit card, I'm glad I took it easy, got another drink, and waited--because the bar eventually found it, and cancelling it would've been a PITA since it had some recurring payments on it
