It's a bit of a nuisance, but it's no big deal. The credit card
company will eat the charges. When my wallet got stolen on the
Paris Metro the thieves managed to run up about $600 in charges,
but I didn't pay anything but some postage to return bills to
Visa marked to show which charges were fraudulent.
