Always lock up your car and house, it doesn't matter where you live.   I learned this lesson yesterday, as my mom (who lives in a nice neighborhood over in Indian Trail/Stallings) was attacked by a guy who was trying to sell roofing.   Seen my father was out and pushed his way in and pushed her down, luckily their 6 month old German shepherd pup attacked immediately and latched on.  The guy ran out the door with dog locked onto him, hitting the pup and all that, my mom got the pup to let go and the dog is ok even after getting kicked a few times.  Attacker got away and all we know is it's one of those white work trucks with ladders on the racks and it was a white guy.  This is why there will ALWAYS be a German Shep dog in my house.  TL;DR lock your doors, no matter where.  Don't open them for these roofing people.

 

Yo Z.....glad your mom is OK.  You should buy that pup a nice new chew toy and treat for putting in work.

 

What neighborhood does she live in?  I live in that area and wanted to be on the look out

My Wells Fargo fraud dept is amazing story goes like this:

 

One Saturday afternoon I get a call from them over some transactions they think are hinky.  Ive been out earlier that day using the card at places like Home Depot, Target, Quick-E-Mart, a Fast Food joint, typical Saturday morning poo.  The transaction that caught their attention however was a Best Buy purchase.  Bear in mind I'm more than just a little bit of a geek as an IT professional and places like Best Buy, Game Stop, HH Gregg are common places for me to shop.

 

The person on the other end of the phone tells me that there was a purchase of a computer from Best Buy earlier that day and that it didn't fit my purchasing profile.  WHAT?  ME?  I purchase stuff from Best Buy on a monthly basis and I probably buy new computer gear at least ever couple of months.

 

Of course the charge was fraudulent and wasn't me but the fact that they could pick it out just blew my mind.

Country Woods East down Lawyers in union county, across from Emerald Lake neighborhood (I think that's the name).  Past Harris Teeter at Stevens Mill.  I'd love to know who it was and I wish the dog was fully grown.   I would advise anyone that sees a truck like this driving around suspiciously or even going door to door to let Stallings PD know so they can investigate.

Fraud depts for most banks are some of the best areas to work. And they have some freaky Minority Report stuff going on as well.

There are crime rings that work together to try and circumvent fraud monitoring.

You are better off getting a card stolen, specifically a credit over debit, then paper checks.

BOA has stopped my card numerous times because of suspicious activity, and every time it is me on the other end. I understand they want to protect my money, but got dammit it's embarrassing to be declined in public. And the transactions aren't even done out of my city.

Glad everything worked out for you.

 

But Holy Crap....i can't believe anyone would leave their wallet in their car and their car unlocked....intentionally.  I know you said you lived in a small town, but there are dishonest people everywhere.  I don't trust anyone.

 

 

​Obviously an error in judgement.  Thought my little corner of the world was safe...stupid fantasy.

      Another layer to that is Ive seen Seattle has been in the market for CB help this off-season.   Michael had a higher PFF grade than Horn who got 15 games this season. He wants to be here too, that's a huge bonus for any 5 win team that had awful pass rush.  The 7th rounder Michael Barrett didn't last long on Seattle, he was cut before the season I think and ended up on browns PS. He's already been on 5.......5 teams within one year.......

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      By Basbear · Posted

      You have gave the board some recent gold via posting. Heres my poor attempt at the truthful play-by-play of the time during post- I pulled out the old laptop to do my shitposting and check on websites. Open the huddle and see this new thread. Open thread and read CRAs post, {inner thinking, oooOOooo this is my lane and I got this}. Make sure not to scroll even to the 2nd post. 23% of current neurons still firing start up and two names appear- Captain and Josh....... about another 43 seconds past "O GOD" it's July 4th weekend and I got medicine to pick up. (If the laptop didn't give away my aging, the meds should...) I need to split, think long panther careers and the hint-  Ryan Kalil was a late 2nd and Pro bowls(even all-pros too) he's got to be OLman and Mikie Minter is among the all-time Panthers career leaders. Drop my post. Scramble to get keys, wallet, and phone. Check my phone- its 17% battery.....fug I now have to raw dog the pickup line and put the phone on charge.... Flip flops, sweat ringed filled hat, and shades acquired. Get in my pos rav4 and think about not running the A/C. Pull out the drive way and reach the 1st stop light, A/C is wide open. I check my shirt to see if there's any new stains on my house shirt, bush off the Bojangles salt that I see.... Neurons re-fire and focus on the comments CRA made that no one would get this....... Dang IT, that means it isn't Ryan Kalil or Mike Minter! CVS is close, but I know its impossible I get back withing 10 minutes to change my post and my phone is on the charger. {Think you monkey, at one point you were a draft nerd}. Reach the CVS line, by some grace its not 5 cars deep during 5 o'clock traffic hell. Im second in line after the car in front of me both turn in, they have to go back and forth to line up while Im a pro for that geometry. Neurons finally reach peak performance as Ive re-thought draft classes. Think obscure and unknown 7th rounders with long careers. Some Sunday/Monday night member berry fell out of my Melon, Will montgomery during the players intros for washington. I thought he out of the league and was shocked to see him still playing around the 2015 years. I do a goggle background check and that refreshed memory. Pick up the meds and enjoy the sweet smelling cool CVS air. Driving back and check in on one of the local bums at the big stop light, wow he's got a new fancy rug. Think about all the old food I got and need to start giving it away and rethink it. Reach home and post a follow up and I know Minter is wrong too, I check the draft history and see Robert Mcclain. Too late, but that would have been my guess....open CRAs link and get "upset" at the DBs name.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      THANKS my guy! Keeping up with this threads theme, if I view a thread and there's only 20 posts and some time passes. If I see there's one new post and read the name; @Dave Gettleman's Shortsis among the chosen few that I will reopen that thread just to see what you posted.    Thanks again, plus not just a scout, thats scotty mccloughans son?!?!? If not for the deep claws of booze, scotty is among the best talent finders this league has recently had. Last I heard he ran a consulting business. Caden could be one of those who's on a early path to being a GM in the future. I was a big fan of his dad, dam shame about booze demon ruining his career.
