Default Oystercard picked from pocket

I can assure you if a tube inspector stops someone who says his Oyster card
has been stolen they will check it out. Yep it may involve some note taking
and a phone call or two but LUL don't prosecute fare paying customers. :-)

It's a non-issue surely, as the use of the Oyster to board the bus

will
have been logged centrally. (Or captured locally, to be logged
centrally, later).

If you have an anonymous oyster card?


They must still have some kind of serial number, how else can the OP
phone up and get it cancelled?

Or if its a season ticket?


Why are they different, surely they are logged as a much as pre-pay (so
Ken can get his statistics on who commutes where).

They are logged as much. You can see what busses, tubes, trains you've

been
on from those big touch screen machines no matter what type of ticket it

is.
(You can alos request a print out from the ticket office [eg for expense
claims] but they are often awkward)
