What should you do if your FOID card is lost or stolen?

  1. Report it to the local police

  2. Do nothing

  3. Apply for a new one without reporting

  4. Wait for it to expire and then renew

The correct answer is: Report it to the local police

If your FOID card is lost or stolen, you should report it to the local police. This is because the card contains your personal information and could potentially be used for fraudulent activities. Reporting it to the police can help prevent any potential misuse of your information. Option B of doing nothing is incorrect because it leaves you open to potential identity theft. Option C of applying for a new one without reporting is also incorrect because it could potentially lead to having multiple active FOID cards, which is illegal. Option D of waiting for it to expire and then renew is also not recommended as it is better to report it and get a replacement card as soon as possible.
