And So The Nightmare Continues. .

This definitely isn't something I wanted to write about in my blog because frankly it's not something I want to remember, but I figured I would only for the reason that maybe it will save someone else from ever having to deal with this.   I previously mentioned that my purse was stolen at daycare a few weeks ago.  In my purse was my ID and debit card.  Since there were no checks in my purse we assumed just cancelling my debit card would be enough.  Wrong!  Theives are smart.  2 weeks after my purse was stolen, we saw several large debits come through both our checking and savings accounts.  They had cashed stolen 3rd party checks through our account.  And because our checking and savings accounts were linked up for overdraft protection, they were able to get money out of our savings too.  :(  We still don't know how they got our account number, but the fact is, they did.  So my advice to anyone who has their ID taken,  as well as anything that indicates what bank they have, close your entire account and reopen a brand new one.  Also, don't link your savings to your checking!  Luckily our bank refunded us all the stolen money, but the time and hassle we've had to deal with through this whole process has been a nightmare!
