Hell hath no fury...

Like a woman who's credit card was stolen and racked up.

I mentioned last week that my wallet was stolen. I took all the appropriate steps
like cancelling my credit cards, bank cards license etc... Before I started I checked my balances online. In the 2 hours it took for me to get home and cancel my card, my credit card wasn't used...or so I thought. I discovered today when I received my new card that it had been used. In fact, they maxed it out. The credit card company assured me that I wasn't liable and to file a police report. I printed a copy of the unauthorized transactions and noted the following

The movies
A gas station
A phone call

The phone call caught my eye. The actual number they called was listed on my credit card summary. It was a substantial clue. They don't call me Dora the Explorer for nothing. I took a copy of the fraudulant transactions to the Police Dept where I filed my report. Although pleasant and respectful, the intake officer was utterly useless. I gave him my personal info and then offered him my 'proof' He didn't even look at it. He told me that anything under $100,000 typically won't get investigated at all. There is just too much of a backlog. He told me I should be thankful that the credit card company is not charging me for the purchases. Well,
thanks for the assurance officer however, let me offer my opinion. This person(s)
has my wallet which contains everything about me. They know my name, where I work, where I live, where I bank, where I shop. This is not cool. I'm not at ease when I don't know who has this much information about me. It might be a punk kid who thinks they struck gold or it could be someone else with an agenda far more dangerous then going to the movies using my card. I told the officer that filing my paperwork in the abyss wasn't acceptable to me. I'm taking matters in my own hands

I called the office and told them I was taking an extended lunch. Then, I started tracking. The gas station was useless. They send the receipts off already, the video tape is erased once a week ( which was yesterday) Short of exact times the card was used, they could offer no extra help. I wrote down the times and off I went to the movie theatre. Here, I had a stroke of luck. A huge stroke. The entire puzzle came together here. This is what happened

3:15 - They purchase many, MANY movie tickets using my card
3:20 - They make a phone call ( assumingly to invite more people)
3:30 - They drive to the gas station 2 km's down the road and fill a tank of gas
3:34 - At the same station they filled a second tank of gas
3:47 - Back at the movie theatre, they purchased even more tickets and food to feed
everyone

The manager of the theatre was very helpful. He pulled the log and was able to give me exact times they used the kiosk to purchase tickets. They he looked at the video surveilance tapes at the same time of the transactions and voila...there are the fuckers that stole my wallet. He offered me his business card and # of the tape.

Now, only one piece left. The phone number. This took a bit of work but I traced it to a cell phone with a certain phone company. Its my lucky day. I know someone who works for this company and I got an account name and address.

I'm going back to the Police station tonight. I did their job for them. Now, they can take the next step.

Not quite yet. I have one task left. I'm going to call the number. Maybe a few times. I'm going to enjoy mind fucking them. I'm going to enjoy calling them by name, detailing where they went and what time . I'm going to ask them if they enjoyed the movie. Yes, I have that information too. I'll be certain to let them know what they look like too.

They fucked with the wrong girl.
