NC, because I have become an inadvertent criminal.
This sounds unlikely but it true and I would like some advice and insight.
I was out today with a friend, lunch, galleries, bit of shopping. Tapping away merrily with my card.
My husband met me at the station to pick me up and I said I needed to go to the supermarket to get something and he asked what I'd been paying with all day because he had my card in his pocket.
We'd been away at the weekend and he'd been using my card because that was the card we had on us, I have a premium banking product and my card is very distinctive. I'd checked that I had my card in my holder before I went out today because I knew We'd both been using it at the weekend. Saw it was in my holder and have been tapping away all day.
The card I had in my holder and have been merrily using all day, is not my card. It belongs to a man I've never heard of. The only solution I can see is that I picked his identical card up that he left on a table and I assumed it was my card.
I have been spending a stranger's money all day. Shall I just phone the bank? Won't I look like a criminal?
TL;DR. I have accidentally spent some blokes money all day. I don't know what to do!
AIBU?
Accidental crime...

Definitely happened.

Can't have been tapping 'all day' as every 5th tap requires PIN authentication (can be fewer taps if you've spent close to the £100 limit for a couple of taps).

What table? Is it a special table where people randomly leave their cards?

What table do you think he left it on?
