Annoyances

On the bill I got today, there were $900 worth of charges to retail locations in Providence, RI, in stunningly even numbers ($400.00 + $500.00, exactly), on my credit card, from the day I got home from BiCamp.

The card company's sending me an affadavit and expects to get it cleared from my account within a week, so it really just was a matter of a phone call, since it's not a debit card and so no actual money was taken from me. But I really hope no one at BiCamp rifled through my things and tried to scam me, despite the timing and usage location. I hope this was just a coincidence, or maybe the guy at the gas station or something. I don't like thinking that people in that community would be stealing from each other.

I'll be honest, as long as they clear *me*, I don't care very much whether the card company finds the culprit or not. But I know people to whom this has happened who have debit cards rather than credit cards, and they're sometimes out of money they really need until the bank figures out the situation. There's no way to tell which is which by looking at the card.

Well, I'm thinking toward 'discouraging others from trying it again'-- cut them off at the knees! Crush their bones, break their spirits!
