This may be one of the stupidest ideas I've ever heard of.

What losses do you have if your wallet is stolen? Keep a copy of the
credit card companies' phone numbers in your email box, and phone them
immediately to cancel the cards. Better to have a backup than to be
stuck with just one card that could go south.

there's never been any perceptible impact on my credit rating. Fraud is
fraud. I think you are really just making shit up off the top of your
head here.
