I Got Stolen From

The other day I thought it might be smart to peruse my bank account online. I am very much in the habit of doing this because I am neurotic and need to add up all my bills and paychecks and credits and losses basically at least once a week. By the grace of God (if there is one) I did this Sunday night instead of Monday morning. This was right after we had come home from camping and I had put a few things on the good ol' debit card, as I am wont to do. I noted that there was a pending charge for $59 on there that I didn't remember, but that's happened before, so it didn't really mean much, but when I went through the reel of things I'd bought recently, nothing that expensive came up. There was the $15 for breakfast at a diner, the $33 for the campsite, $31 for food and s'mores and firewood, $22 from Stop n Shop. I ran up the pending charges and saw two charges of $39 to the same place. I went to the website it had been spent on and I had definitely never been there. It was an ad site that had to do with cars. So yah, someone stole my debit card number. And bought ads. Needless to say I called them right up and then tried to get ahold of the bank but only the lost and stolen department was even remotely reachable. Can anyone tell me why they ask for seventy trillion numbers you probably don't know before they put you through to a person?? I just got my card "stolen", bitch! Cut the spending power goddamnit, that's all I need! When I finally did get ahold of someone he was very nice and told me to chop up my card. The next guy asked me if I'd been anywhere different in the past few days and I said yes, I went camping. He asked if anyone had had my card long enough to copy the number down and I thought of how the convenience store didn't have a swipey thing and I had to hand my card to the people behind the counter. So now I have to fill out a report for an investigation but I didn't have to wait long for my new card and I got my money back much quicker than I expected, thank god. This was going to be a much longer tirade, but luckily for you, B of A squared away all my shit pretty damn quick. By the by, if you're going to steal, steal from someone rich or a corporation.
