I went shopping on BF at several different stores. By late afternoon I was exhausted and just wanted to get home. I left Justice after the cashier handed me my receipt along with some discount cards for future use. She wrapped the receipt around the cards as they always do so I tucked them in my wallet (again, as I always do) thinking that my credit card was in the pile. I did not go out the rest of the day. Yesterday I was checking my balance online and saw a HUGE balance with many unauthorized charges. All the charges were from stores within 1-2 miles of Justice. Although I cannot be sure exactly who took it I know that I never received it back so it somehow disappeared from the register area.
Chase put a hold on the account after the total charges for the day were over $3k (including mine) but never contacted me. Apparently they tried to charge even more but Chase had frozen the account. I am not liable for any of it but I take this as a lesson learned to be much more careful. I just thought this would be a good reminder to everyone to never let your guard down.
