My mother went over to the Palisades Mall to do some shopping. She was bumped and jostled by three women and when she went to pay for something her pocketbook was unzipped and her wallet was missing.
She called me and I told her to find her charge card bills and call the credit card companies immediately. After that call the police. By the time she got all the cards canceled they had charged over $6,000 worth of merchandise at an electronics store in Brooklyn. She lost $200 in cash in the wallet and they have her drivers license and social security as well as several other forms of identification.
She told me that she apologized when the women bumped her.

I’ve never owned a credit card before but I take credit card sales at work. Credit card transactions should be handled like bank cards, they should have an id code with every transaction.
Sorry to hear about your mother’s incident.My wife had her purse stolen outside Suoerstore here a year ago. Fortunalty she had no money and no credit cards.

That is horrible! Tell her I’ll put a black irish curse on the people who did this.
