When stealing a credit card, take care as to what you buy.
From the Sarasota, Florida Herald Tribune:
Police: Woman stole ID for new tooth, tattoo, bail
Police say a 27-year-old woman stole a man’s credit card number and used it to buy a crown for her tooth, a tattoo, a motorcycle and a jail bond.
Sarasota police charged Alicia K. Borgeson, 27, with ID theft and credit card fraud after she charged $5,600 to a Visa account last month, according to an arrest report.
A detective says Borgeson was organizing files and running errands for a Sarasota company when she lifted the credit card number of a customer.
She used the card, an arrest document says, to buy a Yamaha motorbike ($3,100), visit the dentist ($1,500), get a tattoo ($300) and bond herself out of jail on an unrelated charge ($200).
Police caught her when they spotted the Yamaha outside a restaurant, where she reportedly used the card to buy a Dr. Pepper.
Heh… You will always get caught — what is it that makes people think otherwise.
