| Someone stole my debit card info and spent about $100 ... 20 times at Walmart and gas stations in Savannah. God help them if I find them. |

As per our discussion: I'm sorry to hear this and hope all gets set straight soon.
What comes to mind immediately though is how pathetic this person is. If I were to suddenly find myself with illegal access to potentially thousands of dollars, and the nefarious intentions to use it, my first thought would not be of shopping sprees at gas stations and my local Wal-Mart.
...criminals are so uninspired. I do hope he (or she) gets punished. But first and foremost that your bank account gets restored. |

| Uninspired or unintelligent? I'm leaning towards the latter. |

I hope you had some sort of insurance for this sort of thing. I've had mine stolen once, but the guys got caught before it could be used. First I heard of it was my bank calling and telling me I was getting a new card.
Unintelligent? Probably a bit - that sort of spending would be more along the lines of what you would do with a stolen credit card - lots of small purchases, rather than a huge out of the ordinary high dollar amount that might get flagged right away. _________________ -The Tribesplayer formerly known as Snuf- |

| Yeah, it's BoA, so they're covering it. Just have to wait till the money actually clears ... since it was run as credit, it takes a few days. Go figure. |
