Yesterday my mother was the victim of a pick-pocket. She realized that her wallet had been stolen within minutes but before the credit card companies could terminate the accounts, the thieves (we assume more than one because they split up to use multiple cards quickly) had racked up hundreds of dollars worth of charges on high-end electronics. My mom is obviously upset but she's physically okay, and she was lucky that her driver's license was not in her wallet at the time.
