Unfortunately sometimes, nice places can give you a bad
taste in your mouth.
On our recent trip through Savannah, we used our credit
card, one we have been using since 1996, and the unfortunate happened, someone
used our number to run up over $700 in charges at a convenience store and fast
food places!
I got the call from the company with a message on my phone a
couple of days ago about suspicious activity. At first I though that maybe they
were just noticing our own activity and charges we ran up. So we followed up
the call and spoke with someone, and the charges were going on that very day we
made the call!
We fortunately have insurance against such a thing, but it
makes you angry at first, then you wonder what kind of low life would do that.
Maybe they needed the things they bought with our card, but my guess is they
didn’t. That they had a job to begin with and that is how they got the card,
and fast food is not a need.

I understand that the South is still a little pissed off
about the outcome of the Civil War, and I can appreciated a dislike for General
Sherman, but give me a break, huh?
In spite of the card theft, the city is beautiful and the
people for the most part very friendly and courteous, so don’t let the bad
apples ruin your cider, just be careful if and you should, visit there.

That stinks. You hate having to live life afraid things like this will happen, but still you feel victimized when it does. Hopefully Karma is lurking and whoever did this will soon have a rash in a very uncomfortable place. Glad the experience didn't sour you on Savannah, a really nice place.
This has happened to us 3 times in the past 5 years. What a pain. Also,Dennis must have left one of his Starbuck coffee cards (with auto top-up) at a nys thruway reststop as we discovered someone has been helping themselves to a lot of coffee for the past few months.
