I wouldn't call the guy who stole my wallet a criminal mastermind. He left a paper trail right to his front door. First off, he came back to the store after I left and used one of my credit cards to make low dollar purchases. I was told by the fraud unit at the credit card company that thieves oftentimes do this to make sure that the card is good. Once he knew that, he stupidly used the card to buy a whole bunch of merchandise from Nike and the card was promptly declined and a suspect charge put on the card. I later verified that it was a fraudulent purchase because this mastermind used a second credit card to purchase the same items. The second charge worked, but it was also on a credit card so it was easily to cancel out of. Not only that but I gave the police all the insider info they will need to get the shipping address of the Nike merchandise. Who knows if they follow up on it, but at least I gave them everything. It doesn't matter at this point everything is cancelled and worthless to a thief and I have lifetime identity theft protection courtesy of the federal government.
As far as a thief knowing I have guns here, well I look at it this way. If this thief was dumb enough to use a home address for an illegal purchase then I don't have much to worry about. Chances are he/she couldn't get a ride to the next town over, never mind to a house 50 miles away from they live. Besides I'm the one who is armed here. Plus I have really good security cameras.
As others have said, neither the cops nor the credit card companies seem to give much of a crap about finding the perps in fraudulent charges--it's a write off and budgeted for. A few weeks ago I was checking my statement and found three separate charges to Ticketmaster totaling $1700 for concert tickets to some band called Imagine Dragons (my son says they suck). No one seemed interested in pursuing the perps--just refunded my account.
So here is how this works. They will not give out private information over the phone. But they did give me all the order details other than personal identification and I was told that if the police asked for the name and address they would give it out to law enforcement as part of an investigation. If the cops decide it's worth investigating then it's a done deal. The reality is I am only out a wallet and $25 to replace my drivers license. I wouldn't call that a slam dunk case, probably not even a slight slap on the wrist.
I go to Costco's gas. The attendant walks around and checks those seals every hour. I've seen them do it many times. They take security seriously.
Other stations you won't see any clerks walking out and checking the pumps probably ever.

Not true for the Afflicted...

That was my first thought too when I read her post. My second thought was that I have worn the same jeans Sauer Grapes does.You know this info will be used against you in Baseless Lies, right? LOL
