Happy it worked out ok. The feeling is one of panic. I once put my wallet on top of the car roof & drove away. After I retraced my route at 5 miles an hour I found it on the side of the road. Whew. i don't put anything on the car roof anymore.

I couldn’t find my debit card when checking out at the market this morning. Rather than immediately conclude that I should call the bank, I mentally went over my movements over the last few days and decided where I should look for it, as it is usually my habit to immediately put it in my wallet after using. When I got home, I checked the “secret” pocket in my beach wagon and it was there…I didn’t use it, but had taken it to the beach yesterday, in lieu of cash in case I wanted to get anything. I was glad I could recall all my movements.

That might work for a debit card, but take my word for it, it doesn’t work that way for your passport.

Since your card wasn't compromised they didn't have to block the account. They just uncanceled it. If they thought someone unauthorized had possession that would be different.
