    Credit card theft & identity theft can be a huge, huge nightmare. I've talked with people that have been through it. Patti, I'm so glad for you that it wasn't any worse!

    I work in retail, & the policy at my business is to require identification from the customer who's using a credit card or a check card if the card is not signed. If you sign your card, anybody can use it.

    And STILL we get customers who get all pissed off if they have to show ID! We try to politely explain that it's for THEIR protection, but . . . oh well, some people just live to bitch & moan, I guess.

    I always write "Please check photo ID" in the signature space on my cards. Most people never even look, much less ask; but I hope that at least it will be less attractive to a thief that way.
