I wonder if you couldn't call the phone # on the credit card(s) and report that you found them.
I'm sure the card company would be able to contact the owner; maybe even give him/her your phone number to contact. I don't know how much info they want people to share in that kind of situation.

I've always read articles on safety/theft that tell you not to keep your home address anywhere near your keys, to avoid break-ins. Pretty sad.

Sorry to hear about all your troubles, DG. As if the car wreck weren't bad enough. You might have trouble replacing your credit cards before you travel. When I lost my credit card (only 1, thank God) I had to wait 8-10 days for the new one to be mailed.

If you get into this situation, you might be able to get by with asking for a new bank card (debit/credit).
Sometimes those can be mailed to you faster than a "regular" credit card.

But HOPING that somebody finds your stuff and tries to return it first!
