Well it did work the way Rapaire (26 Aug 04 - 09:00 AM) says it should for the credit card. The fraud department called me and we immediately took care of that problem. There were some massive purchases made and someone is out some money.

Unfortunately the thief apparently also got a box of my checks that were on the desk. With the mess from the fire their loss couldn't be seen right away. It was only when I went in to the credit union that I realized that things were worse than I thought they were. My net worth is now in the negative numbers and my legitimate checks are bouncing all over the island. Sigh, this is really getting to me.
