Hi Mike, sorry to hear your backpack was stolen, gone through the troubles of replacing cards and documents, but happy that you are starting to get replacements.
Something to consider as it was mentioned earlier is to save the credit card numbers/info in your smart phone. I have an iPhone and I have several Bank/Debit, VISA and MasterCard cards stored in the digital wallet app. If my wallet were stolen, I think I would get some money from an ATM using the iPhone first and then start calling the banks and credit card companies to cancel the cards.
All the best and see you at PS!
