My mother was enjoying an outting viewing the ocean with us while we took pictures, you stole her jacket and her wallet then tried to “pretend” to deposit $1500 into her bank account , fortunately my mom doesn’t have that high of a limit for you fuckheads to take, and secondly she only had four bucks in her wallet, enjoy your pack of smokes and your chocolate bar? piss on you! i hope your fucking pecker rots off into hell! picking on an elderly woman, fuck off and die!

To those who read this: please remember this before you call or go into your bank and whine about your limits being too low.
Ginger is back? OMG! I can foresee the catfight for the ages! Ginger Vs Kay
BRoc, a little premature.
anyone can type anything in the post’r there….
not to mention ginger wreaked of immaturity and this OP’s mother is listed as elderly. Not impossible… but I’ll stay a skeptic for now.
as for picking on the elderly… well leave em alone! all they want to do is chat and eat candy.
zZz: Ginger is back meow! was her sig just before she disappeared last time. I’m going to get a bowl of popcorn and settle in.
😀
I never had a chance to experience this ginger person… Although I’ve read a few of the posts in the archives, it should be fairly entertaining, if true.
oh I remember,Three…
but anyone can fake a couple posts with the same text while not logging in.
I’ll need a string of lunacy and verbal diarrhea before I’m convinced.
Ummm what fantasy world do you live in, OP? Smokes and a bar for four bucks? Sign me up! If it were only that cheap.
Oh yay!!!!
I <3 Ginger!!!! glad to see you back!
Also what a jerkface? who steals an older ladys wallet? a jerface
Did Mom store her PIN in her wallet? I don’t understand how the thief would have managed to fake a deposit at an ATM without first getting past the sign-in screen. And going to a teller would have been risky because how are they going to fake a deposit in person? Either way, if the card was used banks have security cameras. The time signature is recorded in a database. Have the police get the tape and forward to the correct time and there’s your thief’s face.
Am I missing something? Why would the thief try to deposit money in her account? Don’t they usually try to withdraw money?
Either this is a really dumb criminal, or I’m completely missing the point…
hahaa they were prob trying to withdraweel the money OR check the balance
nevermind, it’s a fake deposit. You go to the ATM and do a deposit. Place an empty envelope into the machine, then make a withdrawal based on the fake deposit.
Unfortunately some people (especially with poor memories) do keep their PINs written down in their wallets and purses.
Makes sense Tim, but doesn’t the bank take like 3 days to process ATM deposits?
Yeah, but you can usually withdraw the money right away. When the process the empty enbvelope and realize you ripped them off, they come looking for their money. I think large transactions usually do get a hold put on them though.
usually anything over $500 I think… least in most cases for people I know.
I don’t see Ginger anywhere. I’d say it’s a false alarm people.
You can go back to business… nothing to see here.
I think it’s awful to steal people’s shit, but I just want to state that 63 is *not* elderly. 60 is the new 50, and 50 is the new 40.
Fever’s right too: keep your daily limits LOWWWWW. Mine’s set at $500 at the moment. I figure if I have to spend more then $500 in a day it would be a special case and I’d just plan for a trip to the tellar to get the $$$. It’s also helpful to change your bank pin up every once and a while.
Here’s a question – unless your mother had her PIN number in her wallet with her client card, how would the theif be able to do a fake deposit (I am aassuming you mean s/he deposited an empty envelope into a bank machine and said there was 1500 dollars in it). . . Just saying – its horrible that your mother got her coat and wallet stolen but maybe its a lesson for those people who keep their pin numbers written in their wallets – don’t!
Terrible Thing to do to someone but 63 is not elderly. My grandmothers 69 and she works for the goverment, has a huge garden, does wedding planning and events planning, taught me to drive several years ago, has a super clean country style house with modern furniture and doesn’t go around saying, I’m too old. Actually when I was 16 I had to get her to start the lawnmower for me when I was visiting her/ and my family for the summer It took her one big pull, me I was trying to start it for 5 minutes lol. So yes 63 is far from elderly in my opinion, glad they didn’t very much out of you mom though. My moms purse was stolen a few years back and she lost 300 dollars cash that she was about to put into the bank when she got off the bus, plus our health cards birth certificates etc. It sucked big time!
Wait…Ginger’s back….
hm.
63 is or is about to be retired.
That to me == elderly…. regardless of whether they can start their own lawnmower or walk a round of golf or what-have-you.
I should also note, until people routinely start living to 120, it is far past midlife…hence elderly.
Especially if they use the term “respect your elders”.
I’m with other’s on this one, firstly how did they get the pin, secondly, why the fuck would the say 1500, that seems like a little ridiculous. Still suck’s hard core. Who is this ginger, she is almost legendary around these parts.
From what Miles told me, she was basically a psychotic little troll who was extremely unstable and unpredictible. But hey, this was before my time.
Of course it could have been and most likely an inside job.
fallingAngel. you’re better off not knowing.
She posts maniacally, spewing incoherent blurbs and made up facts… Think a 7 year old with a hate on and a deficient spell checker. It’s not worth anyone’s time to go to that god awful place.
I remember ginger from my lurking days.
*shudder*
Also, I wondered the same thing: how’d the thief get her bank pin? It’s four numbers…how can someone NOT remember four numbers? Unless it was her birthday or something and the thief figured it out. NEVER use your birthday as a pin. NEVER. Or 1234 or 1111 or any variation of these two themes.
PK, it’s ‘at least 4 numbers’…
I’ve seen people put a nice string into the debit machines before. 7, 8 chars easy.
best way to remember I’ve found is to use a phrase…
what you see is what you get….
W Y S I W Y G
9 9 7 4 9 9 4
Mine is 6 numbers.
Also, not to down play the situation, but unless you’re stalking someone before you steal their shit, or if her coat was of the old lady variety, thieves don’t generally know whose stuff they’re stealing until they’re long gone with it. So it could have been a 20 something’s coat, would that make it less horrible?
Ginger was also known for saying things that didn’t make sense, generally in a sentence structure/ using words where they don’t belong kind of sense. Once picked on for something, she had Kay’s retribution skills.
