An interesting side story about this theft of cards...

A few weeks ago, my mother-in-law was on line at the
supermarket, and after paying she scooped up her
receipt and debit card, dumped them in her purse and
left.  Later that day, she bought gas (pay at the pump).
After filling and paying, she went to return her debit card
to her wallet and realized that it wasn't her debit card.

She returned the card to the bank (the cardholder's
account was with her bank) and asked that it be returned,
and that her account have the price of the gas she
bought transferred to the other account with her apologies.

The bank thanked her and deducted the money.

The next day, the police interrogated her for two hours
before finally charging her with identity theft.  Her court
date is next week.  Attorney costs are now at $1500.

Over $27 worth of gas, which they only know she spent
because she returned the card and requested her account
be debited.
