So as you know we lost one of our credit cards about a week ago and someone picked it up and used it. Well up until now we didn't really know what all they had spent because we were waiting for our new card to come so that we could set it up online and look at the purchases. Yesterday I called Citibank and got it all set up and was definitely surprised to see the damage. They ended up spending over $1000.00 in a period of about 5 hours. They spent like $65.00 at Buffalo Wild Wings, $100.00 at Hollister, over $200.00 at both Bed, Bath & Beyond and Ross, $50.00 at Sears, $30.00 at Big Lots, filled up their car with gas and then apparently paid their own credit card bill of over $300.00. Bringing their grand total to $1,050.85.
It really just blows my mind that someone can just steal money like that. Thankfully we aren't responsible for the purchases they made but man what a pain this has been. And all because our lost card was found by someone that apparently has no problem stealing money instead of someone like me that would either just cut up the card and thrown it away or call the credit card company to report it lost. But I suppose such is life. It's sad but there are people out there that aren't considerate of others and have the nerve to take a credit card that is not theirs and buy whatever they want. It really makes me appreciate places that check id's a lot more now.
