Incident reminds me...A few summers ago I had to park my car a block away from home (no parking available on my street late that night).

Walking up the block I see two guys going car to car looking for open doors. I went next door to my neighbor who is a CHP officer. He came out in his shorts, CHP T-shirt and wearing his belt. He found the guys (they moved to another block), identified himself, the guys dropped to the lawn, he cuffed them both (cuffs on opposite hands) and had me call the police. Not once did he draw his weapon. Took 2 minutes for Santa Monica's' finest to arrive.

My parent's mail actually got stolen before, and it was a checkbook for my dad's newest bank account! Jackpot for the theft! woohoo!

So the story goes...my dad opened a new bank account at Union Bank of California, but the new bank account info never arrived in the mail! One day, he got a letter from Union Bank regarding fines from several overdraft fee =X. We went online to check his bank account, it seems like someone wrote a check to himself using my dad's new checks and forging his signature. Luckily, it was a brand new account and there was no money in the bank account at all.

But this one is settled and closed. We ended up filing police report and closed the bank account. Horrible bank, they almost didn't waive those overdraft fees.

However, the damage doesn't stop here. If you guys check your credit card statement, often times they included those credit card balance transfer checks. Yep, they forged those too as well. Fortunately, it's a credit card company and disputing fraud charges are relatively simple. Meanwhile...3rd damage.

It seems like my mom's credit card information was stolen as well. And...don't ask how, but the low life managed to somehow changed the account to his name. We called the credit card company several times, they said....this isn't your account (when I'm holding the credit card with my mom's name in my hands -_-). Maybe that's why WaMu closed down...

My mom checks the mail everyday and this happened to them.

x2

I kept my $$$ in BofA while I opened an acct there, had it for 8 months, and after numerous erroneous fee's and crude online bill pay system, I pulled my cash out, and explained to the very same acct manager that opened my account, why I was closing it.

I got a $50 VISA gift card, and a sorry letter from them in the mail 3 weeks later.

BofA FTW!

i gotta bump this, i live in corona, closer to a 71 exit tho, and someone was going around breaking into cars for gps or whatever they could find. i do live in a pretty nice area but crime drifts everywhere. i work and went to school in chino hills and my buddies turbo civic was stolen. and 3 people i know have had there cars broken into usually for a gps it seems. So watch who follows you home and what you keep visible in your car.

2 of those brake in's were during midday, so its not like there just going out at night.
