Hi. It seems I am always missing money from my wallet. Is there some powder I could put on the bills so when the guilty person touches t I can use a black Light to see it on their hands?

I would have stopped leaving my wallet laying around the first time money came up missing.

THe problem is things you put on the money get on your hands and eventually everyone elses...and if its on your hands it gets to your eyes nose and mouth....most of these things you don't want there. Then there are the other unsuspecting people who will be handling the money after you spend it.

Wouldn't it be easier to secure your money better? What are the circumstances of these thefts?

You would be better served taking better care of your money and not leaving your wallet where it is available to anyone but yourself.

I live alone. No one can possible get into my wallet except my dog and cats.

I think there is money 'missing' half the time. Yes, a friend, a neighbor, someone took all the trouble to sneak in here and take it. First reaction, and it's normal. But it isn't normal if you keep thinking that for more than a minute. I can always figure out what I spent it on, even if it takes hours or days.

If you live with other people, that's just silly - lock your wallet away when it isn't in your pocket. (I'm a woman who keeps a man's wallet in my purse.)

Powders and black lights are even sillier.
A) They will think you are nuts
B) They will hate your guts
C) They will get wise and use gloves
D, E, F, G....

And who are you going to use black light on? Will you carry the device everywhere with you and check everyone's hands? (Psst -- plan on getting some resistance.)

There is invisible fluorescent powder. In my police work in the past, we used it when businesses thought someone was taking things from inside the safe or inside a desk.

I did a simple Google and found 1000's of pages on this.

Here is one link, (I know nothing about this company) that gives you an example.
