REAL LIFE UPDATE

First, I'm looking for a larger version of this picture. Let me know if any of you find it. It's from episode 20.




It's been an interesting few days. I have an emergency credit card. You know, one that you carry just for emergencies (car breaks down etc.) so I don't really pay that much attention to it. Well last week in NYC it got stolen. I only found out when the credit card company called me because there was so much activity on the card. Whoever stole it charged over $1700.00 in the Bronx. I haven't been to the Bronx in about 8 years. So I had to go back to the city today to file a police report so that the credit card company can access photos taken at the places where the card was used to find the criminal. I am not responsible for the charges, but I feel violated. Someone went into my pocketbook, opened my wallet and took the card. it's just creepy.

I just got a call from the police that they caught him. He was filmed using my card and the store owner knew who he was.

Good.

That's terrible!
It's a scary world out there.

The police caught him already. He was caught on tape using my card. I feel like I'm in a episode of Law and Order.

It's too bad things like that happen. I've had something similar happen with my checking account and it's not pleasant.

I can't believe it, I just got a call that they arrested him.

So sorry about the credit card; personal things are personal, and the idea that some stranger goes through your possessions and even uses them is scary. A good thing your credit card company was quick there. Same thing happened to me last month; somebody must have got my dates online and used them to do a big online shopping spree! >:(

I hope they will catch the thief; I suppose your card wasn't the only one s/he stole. What a twat.

I hardly ever use that card and he did manage to charge $1700 before the credit card company raised a red flag. I'm just grateful that I'm not responsible for his charges.

By the way, the police just called and they arrested him.

Good! Now they need to make sure it's a long long time before he can do the same to anyone else! :)
