The results were mostly strange stuff, but there was one from a <A HREF="http://www.clickondetroit.com/news/19106375/detail.html#-" REL="nofollow">Detroit news site</A>. If this blog won't allow linking, you can use "Cannon to the Wiz Final 4 Fraud" as search keywords, the news article will be higher in the results.<BR/><BR/>Snippet:<BR/>...[S]urveillance images captured a man and woman stealing a woman's purse at Somerset Mall on April 4. Within three minutes of stealing the purse, investigators said the man and woman charged more than $13,000 of electronics on the stolen card.<BR/><BR/>Yikes! I'm going to use one of my old wallets with a little cash for the next time I travel or go to a big event.

That is what the police believe as well. <BR/><BR/> That is where these guys were known to be operating on that day. They were operating at bars and restaurants earlier in the week but I think that they were concentrated near the stadium on that date.<BR/><BR/>I initially thought it was the Irish bar because it was mobbed and I kept being jostled (That's how they normally work---somone bumps or jostles you while the other is going in for the kill.) However, I never felt a thing around the stadium.<BR/><BR/>I have since learned that the guy in the Irish bar is who he told me he was (long story)----pretty much ruling him out as the perp not to mention he was caucasian. The individuals who used my debit were black as are most members of the group although there are known to be white females.Donna Pendergasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07675509385543402624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6316617410436977874.post-62576945372538557322009-04-11T14:25:00.000-04:002009-04-11T14:25:00.000-04:00What happened to the days when they asked for id w...What happened to the days when they asked for id when you used a credit/debit card?<BR/><BR/>No offense though Donna, like most wallet lifters, they werent looking for your identity, but looking for cash and cards that they could use until you cancelled them.<BR/><BR/>I had my wallet lifted in similar circumstances. I was paying for my tab at a bar (crowded) and when I put the card back into my wallet and was signing the receipt and it got lifted. I cancelled the card right away because I realized right away that the wallet was gone. I actually got the wallet back sans cash (which was minimal) in the mail. Someone found it in a parking lot about 4 towns down.<BR/><BR/>MOST of the time its about your cash, not your identity. I am assuming that your state doesnt put your sosh on your license anymore.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6316617410436977874.post-44913676630444567012009-04-11T13:16:00.000-04:002009-04-11T13:16:00.000-04:00Wow!

What an experience you have had in just one week's time. <BR/><BR/>Good has come from your misfortune; you have opened many eyes against the dangers of theft and reinforced the vigilance that we tend to let lapse.<BR/><BR/>As much as I regret that you had to go through being a victim, I am very thankful for your words of wisdom. It is also reinforcing that police are aware and working on keeping us all safe.<BR/><BR/>Not enough praise and thanks are given to the great people of law enforcement in this country. They do so much more than most civilians ever realize.<BR/><BR/>Thank you, Donna, for sharing your experience.piperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10217300619232458893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6316617410436977874.post-52547929443917874642009-04-11T11:54:00.000-04:002009-04-11T11:54:00.000-04:00So, do you have any idea when your wallet was lift...So, do you have any idea when your wallet was lifted that evening??Leahnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6316617410436977874.post-690116604912832332009-04-11T11:42:00.000-04:002009-04-11T11:42:00.000-04:00It's absolutely frightening how fast they can get ...It's absolutely frightening how fast they can get your identity!
