One of my co-workers had her wallet stolen. She immediately had her debit card cancelled and watches put on all three credit bureaus. Her credit union informed her that they attempted to use the card to make a $600 purchase at a local department store. Fortunately, the card was declined, so the person left without making a purchase.
She contacted the police department of the city where the wallet was stolen, and they told her to go to the city where he tried to use the card (about 25 miles away).
She contacted that city's police department, who said she had to go back to the city where the wallet was stolen.
The department store has good surveillance cameras, so she contacted the store to ask to see the tape. They said that police has to get involved.
The credit union gave her the time the attempted purchase was made, so it should be easy to pinpoint the thief. However it seems neither police departments want to get involved.
I told her to get a lawyer. We get free legal consultation through our work. But what would you do?
