Credit Card Thief Sends Thank-You Note, Flowers to Victim

I read about a lot of credit card thieves. Scam artists, struggling businessmen, irritated in-laws, millionaires buying pizza, I've seen it all. Of all the credit card thieves, however, I have never heard of a thief sending his victim flowers...and a thank-you note.

Last week, Rhode Island resident Stephanie Marisca had $2,500 in fraudulent online purchases charged to her Bank of America card. Bank of America quickly closed the account, and the police immediately started tracking down the thief. At this point, I think that a smart criminal would lie low for awhile until the police stop looking, but instead, he decided to send Stephanie flowers and a handwritten card which read, “thnx for ur money.”

Now, if I was Stephanie, I would already feel pretty vulnerable and angry seeing as someone just tried to steal thousands of my hard-earned dollars from me. After all this person has already done, I would be livid if they had the nerve to send me a note. I don't know if the thief did it because they have a sick sense of humor or if they honestly thought that the flowers and note would make Stephanie feel better. Either way, this criminal is unbelievably selfish and stupid, and I hope the cops find fingerprints all over the letter.
