We all have hard to buy for people on our Christmas shopping lists, but choosing gifts for elderly relatives may be the hardest. When the gift is for a relative you love, you want the gift to be an expression of love … and a fruitcake just doesn’t send that message.

This year I’m buying LifeLock for my parents. Life Lock identity theft services are comprehensive. They do all the basic stuff: fraud alerts (if you need them), credit reports, junk mail reduction … But they also have a service called WalletLock™.

My dad is 88, and my mom is 85. My mom has Alzheimer Disease and they live 200 miles away. In the past year my mom has lost her wallet twice. Both times my dad was overwhelmed with trying to cancel and replace everything she’d lost. My mother was ashamed and afraid.

The next time Mom loses her wallet (and she will) my dad can call a LifeLock Identity Theft Specialist. He’ll already have given them an inventory of my mom’s wallet—ID, credit cards, checkbook, etc. LifeLock reviews the list and then they’ll immediately begin him make the calls to cancel her credit cards and replace them. They’ll help fill out the forms to report her driver’s license as stolen and get it replaced.

God forbid she carries her Social Security card or passport in her purse, but if they were in there when she lost her purse, LifeLock would take care of that, too.

Having WalletLock™ isn’t going to keep Mom from losing her wallet (or her jewelry, or her address book, or her memory). But it’ll keep her from becoming an identity theft victim, and it’ll make taking care of my mom a lot easier for my dad.

My husband and I can’t afford to quit our jobs and move closer to my parents. But we can afford the $9 a month it costs to help protect them from identity theft.
