Accidental crime...

[ChinChinDarlings]

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!

I know. Google that….

@Zone2NorthLondon ,

What do you actually want from me?

You seem very angry.

You ok,hun? Bit flustered? You had me at utter arse

Would you like a fisticuffs @Zone2NorthLondon?

I can do that.

Come at me.

Why are we doing this?

Fisticuffs? I’m more a duel kind of gal. I’ll get the farrier find the pistols

Why hasn't this thread been pulled? OP has has enough attention

Well he is offering fisticuffs, I requested duel once the farrier returns with the pistols

Cool.

I am cool. With whatever your aggression is.

You’re somewhat not cool. At all. Despite your protestations to the contrary

Ok.

Anyway ChinChin I bid you farewell. You undoubtedly need time to manufacture another story

Also OK.

It’s a statement, not a request. I’m not seeking your permission or approbation

Also OK.

My final guess, you’re male. Live at home. Like BetFred

Ok.

And has hairy hands.

Blimey. This has taken a turn. It's like Waiting for Godot. (The premium version)

@ChinChinDarlings the only way I can explain your mistake is that you were in an exclusive club like Soho House where wealthy people feel comfortable enough to leave their credit cards on the table (I wouldn’t but I am a bit of a pleb and always will be no matter how much money I have).

Judging from @ChinChinDarlings previous posts we can safely assume she’s tucked up in bed sleeping after going on another spending spree with a stolen card Or from being up half the night gaming.

You think that if somebody was stupid relaxed enough to leave their bank card on a table in public that it would be because they at least knew the others using it. So why wouldn't it have been as easily-sorted as contacting its owner rather than all this made up palaver?

Ok transfer the money you have spent to the account of the card. And add a note/reference saying sorry picked your card by mistake. Spent this so am re-paying. Not difficult. Take 10 mins?

i can see I wasn’t clear.

At exclusive private clubs you would be mixing with many other people who have premium cards so it makes it more likely that you might pick up a card by mistake. More likely than at Nando’s ifyswim.

The owner's details and reference to pay to will be on the other side of the card.
