Suspect arrested in theft of credit cards at Wal-Mart

Crooks olny seems to steal from old distracted women who don't pay attention to what they are doing. They are so fond of putting their handbags on the upper portion of their shopping carts rather than in the cart and placed nearer to them. What they need to do is to put their money in their pockets an place razor blades in their handbags. That would settle the matter.

Why do these retailers sell gift cards in bulk to anybody who walks in off the street? I would find it suspicious if somebody wanted to buy $1000 in gift cards on a personal credit card. A legitimate business would not be using a personal credit card to make the purchase. And then the store employee never verified the ID of the purchaser? Sounds like they are in on it. Shouldn't the retailer be able to shut off the card numbers purchased fraudulently before the thief can profit?

Retailers, or should we say hourly waged employees with half a brain don't give a hoot how or what they sell. Many do not ever look at the face to the name, never ask questions or ar trained NOT TO ASK when a dirtbag or dooch comes in looking like they sleep under the I-95 overpass buy suddenly buy all kinds of stuff worth a lot of $$$$.
Thats one BIG reason why ID theft and Credit Card Fraud is rampant here in FLOR RYE DUH!!!!

I agree with the other poster, HANG SOME, if not chop off their hands and gouge their eyes out, or better yet, donate their hands and eyes to Iraq War Vets who lost them in SAND FLEA VILLAGE.

I agree, But you have to do a public hanging for it to be a deterrent. At the least, if they get caught and convicted of picking someones pocket, chop their hand off.

Put them on Pay For View.
Use the proceeds to pay back the victims.

Hell, I'd Watch!

There must be an inside connection in this Walmart. My husbands credit card was supposedly swiped at this same Walmart over a year ago, but it was used by a person who swiped a credit card under their own name but the strip in the backof the card carried my husbands number. Someone should look well into this Walmart, I think it is being used as a hub for fraud, at this point there has to be an inside connection. Although the lady handling the accounting did help me out the store manager was very NON CHALANT about the whole issue, you could tell he did not wake up in the morning and find the money missing from his personal bank account and he did not care.

They don't care, you are right. They now have you swipe your own card at the register, the cashier does not have to twist her neck and make an attempt and the crooks know it. That is why I like Target. I never shop at Walmart again. They are rude, over packed, and they have a system in place were they just wipe their hands. Go figure that this would happen at Walmart, I am not shocked.

WIth the scanners for cards at so many checkouts, cashiers often don't even see the cards people use.
Gas station pumps ask only for the billing zip code if they ask for anything.It used to be that you could put "SEE ID" on the strip where you sign your name to make your card more secure.You'd be amazed how many cashiers never even checked the signature on the card.

Maybe the credit card companies should go after the stores that don't check. It seems like they could have a short list of repeat offenders just by the contested charges on their customer's bills.

WHEN I GO INTO THESE STORES I USE THE STRAPS USED TO KEEP A BABY IN THE CART TO STRAP MY PURSE IN IT AND I ALWAYS MAKE SURE TO KEEP IT ZIPPED AND THEN I PUT THE FIRST FEW ITEMS IN THE BASKET TO COVER THE PURSE.
I LEARNED A LONG TIME AGO NOT TO "MAKE FRIENDS" IN THE STORES. I DO MY SHOPPING AND I LEAVE!

I do that too! I thought I was the only one. haha. Of course, even then, I never take my eyes off my purse. Lately, though, when I go food shopping all I take with me is my cell, debit card and driver's license in my back pocket. Don't even bother with a purse anymore.

Or, you could all get the implant.

The one that gets put in your hand?

That way nobody can steal it.

Step Right Up.
Implants Right This Way.
It won't hurt a bit. I promise.

Coming soon to a hand near you.

What I don't understand is that they were probably on welfare as well since none of the three had jobs. As much time as it takes to get the group together and plan on this pathetic scheme why not go out and fill out applications for a job?

If women would stop carrying their whole life in a purse..sometimes these things wont happen...also ladies.. stop leaving your purse in your car...or leave it on the front seat when you are gassing up.
This is for everyone: Do not leave the keys in the ignition and the car running when you run into a corner store for a few minutes. That is all it will take for it to end up in Miami doing armed robberies. Plain and simple steps..

There are 5 classes of people in America.

People who own a lot of stock in Walmart.

People who work a lot in Walmart.

People who shop a lot in Walmart.

People who shop-lift a lot in
Walmart.

People who disdain the first three classes

You have a point. A lot of times I'll only carry my license and a credit or debit card. If most women had their purses grabbed, they wouldn't even know what was taken.

all three women are ugly.

But they were all such good children when they was little.

Oy Vey!

GOOD IDEA ABOUT THE RAZOR BLADES - BUT BY THE TIME THEY NEEDED TO GET INTO THEIR PURSE THEY WOULD HAVE FORGOTTEN ALL ABOUT THE RAZOR BLADES AND CUT THEMSELVES!

LMAO GREAT IDEA!@

here's what we need to do to all felony criminals:

Chop off their fingers so they can't use a gun, hold a knife, swipe a credit card or write bad checks.

chop off their legs so they can't drive and flee in a stolen car from police. they also will find it very hard to run away.

take their eyes away and donate them to an eye bank. allow those who obey the laws the ability to see, not for a thief piece of turd trash bucket who doesn't deserve eyesight

and for those sex felons, say goodbye sam, u become a samantha!!!!

just think how safe our commuinities could be if we did this. Hey just think if osama obma wins, maybe he'll hang those felons from the lightpoles....what a great start for a NEW AMERICA!!!!

Thanks for the Kodak moment, SS, at least we know who to look out for in the future.
