Chances are she won't tell the cops about it, and the theivery will stop.
If the cops do harass you about it, then tell them that their Fraud Squad didn't do a damn thing when you reported it, even though you had all the info for them.
If it goes to court, it'll get thrown out and I'll rally to have you elected for El Presidente!
Now that sounds like a real British way of doing things! Funnily enough this reminds me of when I started a little debt collection agency back in the UK. It's amazing the results that an old Ford Transit van filled with some half-dozen skin-heads can do ... better results collecting from businesses though.
Sorry to hijack, but, I agree with this guy. Hit them hard, where it hurts and there's nothing they can do. If you were to go wallop them, for instance, then the term 'major fraud' would come-up at some point. Of course, if there are a dozen nasty's in this house ... you might be stuffed.

Ive heard of a couple interesting ways CC numbers have been stolen. One was they were paying store clerks to swipe customer credit cards through seperate machines real quickly then the real ones. At the end of the day they would pay the clerk and take their swiper filled with numbers. Another one is an adapter that is placed on an existing ATM. It fits flush over the card reader and captures the swipe. There is a small camera disguised as a receipt holder or similar that records the pin numbers. All of it looks original so people dont pick up on it. (I used to have diagrams from security people but I tossed it.) There are some variations on these. Amazing what they will come up with.

Quick update..........Everything has been credited back to wifeys account, I finally got our local police to file a report and will fax it to all the other police agencies which need it. I want to say again how much I appreciate the support and advice I've gotten here. I'd just love to see the S.O.B.'s who did this end up behind bars.....
