I never blogged about this story b/c it ticks me off!!! I will now let you in on my major source of frustration for the last few months. The last week in April someone busted the window out of my car at the ball park and stole my purse. In my purse of course was my wallet, checkbook, DL, social security cards (me & the boys), debit card, credit cards, a $50 gift card, a paycheck, NO CASH, uuummmm oh master keys to the apartments, and a few things that I just can't recall at this moment. Oh and it was my brand new Prada purse and Coach wallet!!!! Sucks I know!!
I was very scared for a long time cause they knew where I lived and esentially had keys to get in!! We found from some video footage at a gas station that it was a black man. He used my debit card to fill his gas tank and drove to Tunica, Mississippi where he got someone to write 4 checks to 4 different casino's all to the tune of $4800!!! And they got away with it!! Thus the smooth criminal pic.
They did a piss poor job of signing my signature so I know they casino was not really paying attention. But, they don't care they got there money. The check approval company that approved all 4 of the checks is responsible for the money. They wrote 2 $1500 checks, a $800 check and a $1000 check. Can you believe that a check approval company would approve that amount all in the same day??? They were different companies, but still. There was not any money in that account when they were writting checks b/c I had already transferred it into another account on the internet!!!
It just really ticks me off that they got away with it. I mean $4800 in one day is BANK!!! OH, well I learned my lesson and everyone reading should too. DON'T LEAVE YOUR PURSE IN THE CAR!!! EVER!!! I would always leave my purse in the car. I also do not carry a checkbook anymore. I hardly ever used it anyways just habit to have it. I only carry my DL and debit card now!!
There is your story. I am sure they will get caught one of these days, I just hope it is soon so that I can prosecute too!!!!
