I'm guessing you've already gone to the police
In my experience banks are very good at these sort of things, unless you've done something stupid like given your PIN out.

I've not gone to the police, as there's absolutely zero information I can give them
Didn't really want to waste time.

I told the bank that no-one knew my PIN, because I know the only ones who do wouldn't have been able to get money from there. (Also, I trust them completely)

I'm hoping for the CCTV though, not really anything else I can do!

You should tell the police
At least the crime will be reported and will go on official stats.

Yep.
One of those incident numbers will be of great help.

If the bank says
how do we know you didn't just fuck off with a load of cash and then claimed it as fraud, then if you went to the police and reported having your wallet stolen then they are likely to be more on your side.

You're either lying
or an idiot.

If someone pinched all my money, the first thing I would do would be to contact the police, not post about it on hall of lies.

Just on the off-chance that you are a moron, not an autist, you might be entitled to compensation as a 'victim of crime' as well as having a case reference to help with your enquiries at the bank.

Also, the police in this country are pretty good at catching people stupid enough to steal people's money from a cashpoint (which will certianly be covered by CCTV)

Stop being a prick.
He's just young and probably thinks the police aren't that fussed about his miserly earnings being pilfered. Let's face it they don't have a good reputation for dealing with petty crime.


Just explain what to do and why and stop acting like your a fucking genius because you know stuff that we don't.

My answer is the most sensible he is going to read on here.
The fact that I combined that with mocking his brain damage is irrelevant.

Also, if I knew something that you didn't, it wouldn't make me more intelligent than you, just less ignorant.
(Richard Earl of Cambridge Cruel, Savage, Wed 9 Sep 2009, 14:23, Reply)

also, saying that I'm less ignorant than you
is a bit like saying I'm less disfigured than the elephant man.

Who co-incidentally is less disfigured than you.

I honestly thought that both those would get a rise out of you.
I must be losing my trolling touch.

I knew that if I pretended to show weakness it would bring you all out.

(Richard Earl of Cambridge Cruel, Savage, Wed 9 Sep 2009, 14:38, Reply)

That was showing weakness?
I was in general agreement with those posts.

Sorry! I was busy.
But I can certainly see why you are in your chosen profession. *laughs*

I only know one who isn't, and really, he is.

Thank you for the information
I wasn't certain about the second part.

Also, I hate to break it to you, but I don't exactly do this all the time, it's not something I'm used to, and I'm still far too angry to think straight.

This too.

I got scammed abroad a few years back after my debit card was 'swallowed' by a cash machine. Thousands of pounds extricated themselves from my account; I got every penny back.

I learned an interesting thing a while back.
If a cashpoint ever swallows your card and you're a bit dubious, see if you can get a nail under the surround of the card slot. There was a scam where this would be a fake stuck over the real one, with a loop of thin strong plastic fed into the machine - this would catch a selection of cards inside, but if you pulled the front off the whole lot came back out.

I would not recommend going at it with a screwdriver though, the police look dimly on that sort of thing.

This is true
these days I'm very cautious and always rub my fingers along the slot before I put it in.
