Thankfully we left our passports and a backup credit card in the hotel.

I immediately called all of our credit card companies and reported the cards stolen. However, my wife forgot about one of her cards and the thieves tried to charge $240 of clothes. Thankfully Chase declined the charge so I'm hoping a fraudulent charge report won't go to the credit agencies.

So I'm wondering if the collective knowledge here of all things CC related can help me. First, do any of my cards insure against such incidents? I've got Chase Sapphire Visa Signature, Barclay's world MC, and a Starwood Amex among others. Second, how can I get cash in France tomorrow without my BoA ATM card? (BNP Paribas is their sister bank there). Third, how do I rent a car without a DL? I was able to scrounge up a copy on Gmail from a mortgage application, but that's it. Finally, is this going to have to delay my next AOR? I'm just thinking the cc comps won't like this.

Any help is GREATLY appreciated!

Oh and one other fun note: several other tourists saw the whole thing and did NOTHING!
