Extremely stupid thieves

My wife received an application for a new credit card today. The envelope had one of those dumby cards in it. You know, the ones that look and (almost) feel like a real card, but isn't.

Well, just before she threw it away, she noticed what looked like carbon paper residue over where the card inside the envelope was. Someone actually tried to copy the card's numbers by rubbing them off! Idiots!



Now, I can only assume that these letters are processed and packaged without human intervention. So that assumption would only leave a postal worker with hands on access before it gets to the house. Makes you wonder...

6. #4, I thought about sending it to the postmaster, but regretfully decided against it. Hopefully it will never happen (here) again, but if so, I won't go against my better judgment.
