Some lowlife, no good, evil man stole my Hubby's wallet on Friday night.
You see at the train station there are people, who won't get a real job, wait outside for cabs and when they pull up will open the door for you then expect some kind of cash. They will also hail you a cab or try to sell you a free paper.
So one of these people opens the door for Hubby and of course he knows this scam tells the guy to bug off. Meanwhile, Hubby has two bags and is trying to get out of the cab but one is stuck. Unfortunetly the pocket on his bag was open where is wallet is and the man swiped it.
When Hubby got on the train and reached in to get the ticket out of the wallet it was gone. He called me right away. I looked up the numbers for bank and credit cards and told him to call right away. He did.
The person was only able to get 20 bucks in cash and he used our bank card for $128 dollars at a grocery store probably for liquor.
We caught it right away and that is all the damage they could do. We took care of everything else. Also the man can't use Hubby's drivers license because he is a different race then Hubby.
With quick thinking and not waiting to see if it was found in the cab we made the right decision in cancelling all the cards.
Hubby has learned an available lesson.
I was really pissed Friday night and wanted to wring Hubby's neck. Next time he will be more careful and not drink a lot while downtown Chicago.
