Sorry to hear that horrible story. I hear now they can sit beside you with their lap tops and read and duplicate the info on your credit cards while your sitting next to them.

Walmarts video EVERYTHING (don't do anything in wm that you don't want the world to see)... the store is on video, the registers are on video, the parking lot is on video...
and your theft is on video...
insist on the police getting that evidence

Our Walmart videos are of such poor quality the police can never get much from them.

Did the C.C companies give you a "refund", so to speak. I had a call from M.C (citi card) about a plane tricket they felt I did not purchase. From Singapor to Melbroune $990.00 ea ticket ( I live in Missouri). (Also in the middle to a snow strom at the time.)
Long story short . They did not charge me and when I got my statement there was another ticket purchased just before the one they called me about. WHY the girl did not mention that one too, who knows...But they also canceled that charge. Seems like some one was in a Cyber Cafe in the Far East and trying out C.C. numbers, till one worked. Citi Card also reissued me a new card right on the spot. These crooks are GOOD at their job, just think how productive they could be with a REAl jOB !!
Hope everything works out for you

That is a shame that it happened and that just shows you what kind of times we are living in now. And people wonder why my wife and I have gun permits...........

I'm sorry that happened to you. I am even sorrier that that kind of thing reinforcces my first instinct not to trust anybody (sad, but true).
It is a sad commentary on the world we live in.
On the other hand, there are days when you run into a complete stranger who puts a smile on your face or says a kind word. So, it does balance out, somewhat.

If someone stole mine they wouldn't get too far.

That exact thing happened to my sister in Maryland last year. I guess it is a common way to do it.
