Wallet stealing jerk!
I noticed my wallet was missing after racquetball this afternoon, and despite some semi-concerted efforts searching, I wasn’t able to find it. In retrospect, I should have checked my bank account immediately…

So the good news is he only got $200 (including ~$40 cash in the wallet) before I canceled the card. It gives me some peace of mind that his last purchase was movie tickets, since he won’t be doing too much purchasing inside the Almaden Cinema.
I’m OK considering this a $200 lesson learned. What’s most annoying is that now I need to go get my debit card and driver’s license replaced.
On the off chance that whoever’s got my “DANIEL H VANDERKAM” Mastercard is reading this, you’ve got the address to send my DL. Be a nice person. It only costs you 37 cents…

Did you call your bank? A lot of times they’ll eat the cost if you tell them you called right away (which you did — you didn’t sit on it overnight). Check your bank’s liability policy.
It’s amazing he/she only spent $200.

Didn’t you have your bike stolen way back? What’s with all this?

Yeah, my bike got stolen back in August when I first moved out here. Really obnoxious, since I’d just hauled it all the way from Houston…
I just called the library and apparently he didn’t use my card. One bit of good news, at least…

Sounds like what happened to my nano. I’d had it all of a month, then I brilliantly left it in my apartment’s weightroom.
Not as bad as losing all of my cards + $250, obviously ;) but I’m quite irked that someone who lives in my apartment complex, within 200 feet of me at this very moment, said “dude, free iPod” and opted not to return it to the next-door office.
