That's why I only have credit cards and not debit cards. (Other than an
ATM card, which I'm careful with at the machine in much the same way. :-)
Of course, living in a country where the banks tend to take the hit

Well, as I understand it, if they don't physically have your card,
knowing your PIN isn't much help anyway...

accomplice picks your pocket obtaining your card; I use your card.
BTW your credit limit has now been exceeded ;-)
