As the title suggests....Long story short, my car was broken into and the wallet that was in there (by accident) was stolen along with my pilot/cfi certs and medical. I did order replacements for the ATP and CFI certs online, but was wondering if there's anyway to get a temp emailed to me so I can exercise my privileges sooner (I'll have to take a look in my company's GOM to verify, but I do believe we have a provision to operate with company generated copies as a worst case, but I'll have to verify that...). Also, is it true that fax is the only means for getting a temporary medical?! I'm planning to call my fsdo tomorrow to ask all this stuff, but was wondering if anyone had any experience with this....As a side note, do not leave your wallet out of sight! Seriously. This is one of the most violating experiences of my life....Ive had to start a new bank account, cancel and order new credit cards, will have to go to the DMV tomorrow to get a new dl and of course my pilot credentials are gone..

Your current employer did (and hopefully still does) have a op spec for lost certs.
 
ASAP ask to have your credit reports frozen. Like tomorrow. Make sure you keep a copy of your police report. It's highly likely your ID will used to create fake ids. You'll find people getting jobs and reporting income to the IRS, you may even be lucky enough to find yourself in jail for mistaken identity for someone who is pretending to be you and committed a crime and has a warrant out in your name.

Ask me how I know.

Great....
 
If you have an EAP (employee assistance program) through work they can assist with all of this. Good luck!
 
You can get a temporary authority (letter) to exercise privileges is what I think they're meaning
 
That sucks, I just had my wedding ring stolen, after I took it off for the first time in 9 years, to do some cleaning around the barracks.

Good luck
 
Already done. Is there anyway to get temporary certs though? Couldn't find anything on that
Did you touch the get replacement certificate online link on that page? One of the online services, after you log in is
  • Request temporary authority to exercise certificate privileges
Sorry to hear. Sucks.
