I just had a credit card number stolen this month. I got a call from the credit card and they asked if I bought a laptop, I said no. We canceled the acct and got a new card. I called Dell to ask them where they were going to send the laptop. I gave my name( they already had it) and my old CC number( of course they had it) and my phone number( they already had it). They asked my address and I said you just tell me where you were going top mail it to, they refused unless I said where I live. I said I live where you were going to mail it and I'm making sure its correct. They said tell us where that is and we will tell you if it matches. I said look, you aren't going to get paid, the number is bogus, and you are protecting a thief, now tell me where you were going to mail it. They refused. The Credit card co. fraud division contacted them and I don't know the outcome yet, but I bet they won't even go see who was going to pick up the laptop. I did find out his email is in Hanoi Vietnam. Dell did admit the addy was in the US.
Nobody cares.
Nobody cares.You got that right. One of the things that was stolen from her house were a few books of checks. The thief actually tried to use one of her checks to pay his utility bills. No, I'm not kidding. The bank told her to contact the police, which she did, but the police told her that it was up to the bank to initiate the investigation. Either way, she had already closed the account as soon as the checks were stolen, so she wasn't out any money. But it seemed like NOBODY was interested in actually arresting the person who robbed her home. BTW, the guy who did it was on bail for being arrested while on parole for attempted murder.
Quite a "justice system" we've got, huh?
Anyone who believes that the police are supposed to "protect and serve" are living in some alternate universe. They're supposed to try to figure out what happened after the fact, and maybe clean up the debris and blood.
