10 days ago, someone smashed my car window and stole my wallet from the center console. I immediately cancelled all my cards and filled out a police report. 7 days after cancelling my debit card, I got a call from a local branch saying they had my ID and debit card. Someone tried to make a large withdrawal from my account so the bank confiscated my ID and debit card. After reviewing my bank account, I saw that two $5,000 transactions were taken out of my savings on the same day. After calling my bank to report fraud, I was told the transactions were made "over-the-counter" so I was unable to report the fraud over the phone and had to fill out a report in person. The bank also informed me this person could still have my account number as it is printed off on withdrawal receipts. My account had not been frozen even after the bank confiscated my ID and debit card, so I had to do so myself. Is it some sort of negligence on the banks part that they allowed someone to withdrawal money from my savings account using a debit card that was reported stolen? How can someone withdrawal money without an account number or pin number? Has anyone else had a similar experience? How long did it take to get your money back? This person basically wiped out my entire savings, and I'm afraid with masks they may never be identified.
