An ex-con picked the wrong home to invade.
Imagine you’re in bed counting sheep dreaming of clouds and flying unicorns. Suddenly there is a knock on the door, which is startling to most people who wake up to the presence of noise and especially that of a knock at 3am.
In your discombobulated state you shuffle over to the door and open it to see who it is, they give you some song and dance and you open the door. Next, a hand wrapped over your face nose and mouth.
In my world this would never happen as previously described. In my world when the door is knocked on or the bell is rung a ferocious toothy German shepherd would lose her mind trying to get through the door, while I’m looking at my security cameras to see who is at the front door. At the same time I’m accessing an intercom to begin dialog all the while ready to press a panic button on my home security alarm.
If the person at the door is in uniform I’m calling the police to determine if they are supposed to be there.
While credit card fraud is a form of identity theft, not all identity theft is credit card fraud. It just so happens that identity theft involving credit cards is the type you are most likely to hear about on a regular basis. This type of theft usually occurs in one of two ways: the thief can physically steal a person’s credit card number and then use it to make transactions that do not require photo ID, whether it’s because the purchase is for a small amount, it’s somewhere like a gas pump where there is no clerk present or it is transacted by a clerk who just doesn’t follow procedure by asking to see identification.
The second way is through phishing scams, in which a thief sets up a bogus website and the consumer is fooled into typing in his or her credit card information.
If there were a criminal hall of fame with an award for the coolest criminal, it would have to go to the pickpocket. Pickpockets are sneaky creatures who manage to function exactly one degree below the radar.
Pickpockets whisper through society, undetected and undeterred. They are subtle and brazen at the same time. They are like bed bugs, crawling on you and injecting numbing venom that prevents you from detecting their bite until it’s much too late. They aren’t violent like a drug-crazed mugger, or confrontational like a stick-up robber. They have more gumption than criminal hackers, since they don’t hide behind the anonymity of the Internet.
NPR reports that nowadays, picking pockets has become a rare and increasingly difficult crime, thanks to “stepped-up surveillance in most public places,” the dismantling of systems of apprenticeship, heftier sentences, and the widespread use of debit cards.
One pickpocket is quoted as saying, “When people stopped carrying money, that was the beginning of the end of pickpocketing…Pickpockets have no respect for thugs or robbers.
