I lost mine and somebody used it. I won't tell you where they found the PIN! :-) The guy used it four times to withdraw a total of $520 from my account. The ATMs took a total of 18 clear photos of him. They looked like offprints from a video tape. We identified him from the pictures and the Berkeley Police inform me that those pictures are admissible evidence in California. The bank (Wells Fargo) told me that nearly all of their ATMs photo- graph all transactions. Willis Johnson willis@violet.BERKELEY.EDU ...ucbvax!violet!willis
