So this is where I get in line. My day is not even started yet and I just want to curl up on the floor in the fetal position.

My wife came back from visiting her mom today (well, yesterday, Wednesday). On her way home from the airport she stopped to grab something to eat. When she got back to her car, someone had broken into it and stolen her purse and tablet. She had her credit card and my ATM card in the purse along with her passport. Both the purse and passport were brand new (and they actually charged her $230 for renewing the passport OMG | :OMG: ).

I logged into my online banking account to see how I would go about cancelling the ATM card and saw that it already had two $40 transactions posted. I call their support number, but I could not cancel it because my wife was the last one of us to have it in her possession Mad | :mad: .
Fine. I have my wife call in, but somehow she gets through a different number, have to answer all kinds of security questions and is unable to cancel the card Mad | :mad: Mad | :mad: .
Fine. I poke around the online banking site and find the "Stop payment" option. Now we are getting somewhere. Check the "Checking account", "Stolen" and "Multiple transactions" options. Hmmm... "Check number From-To"... Well, there are no check numbers since it is my ATM card - let's leave it blank. Great, those numbers are required Mad | :mad: Mad | :mad: Mad | :mad: .

It is 1:30 AM by now and I have to get to work tomorrow. This whole ordeal is going to cost me at least $1,000. Plus whatever the thieving sunshine is able to charge before I can get it cancelled in the morning.

I am SoMad Mad | :mad:
