A kid down the road by the name of A.G. Huffman did the same with ours last year.

Believe it or not, the ThriftyMart here in town took not one but two of them. He did it to a bunch of folks in the area.

He also stole blank checks from a number of folks (both from residences and check orders in the mail) and passed several thusand dollars worth of them ... even got away with it in this small town!

But even though he's got a record a mile long of this sort of stuff and he was caught red-handed (he even had one of our CC statements under his mattress), all these charges from a bunch of mail thefts and forgeries were dropped if he plead guilty to breaking into the local Elks Club and stealing booze.

Something else he did that some of you might want to keep in mind: he filled out a number of pre-approved CC applications and even got some of those to go through!

As I cleaned up the mess from this, I did learn that there's a number you can call that will at least get these stopped from coming for six months. If you don't want a new CC, it might be something to think about!
