Yesterday I logged into my Charles Schwab checking account in America only to discover there were two ATM transactions in Moscow on the 7th for $169 and $676 at two different ATMs.
I am very careful with my card. It was never out of my sight and lately I've only used it at the TMB branch in front of View Talay 2. The last use was April 4. Of course I notified Schwab immediately and they said they will begin a fraud investigation and I will not be responsible for the money. They canceled the card, but luckily, thanks to a posting on this forum, I had opened a second checking account and I simply transfered my balance (about $800) to it and am now using that ATM.
My questions:
1). How on earth did they do it?
2). Why did they not continue to withdraw money (there was some $800 left in the account)?
3). Why did it take 3 days from my last use of the card for the fraud?
4). What can we do to protect ourselves in the future?

Delli-Zza Revisited

Tonight I did something I had been planning for quite some time: I ordered a pastrami sandwich to be delivered to my condo.
The one time I visited the restaurant, I loved the pastrami, but hated almost everything else about the place, including the not very exciting bread and the mediocre side dishes. So...
I prepared my own potato salad and bought a loaf of pain de campagne bread by Delices de France (available at FoodMart, Villa, Best and some other markets around town for 55 baht). While this is not rye bread, it is very good and stands up quite well to the pastrami (unlike the spongy bread they provide).
The sandwich was delivered in less than a half hour, properly wrapped (no delivery charge).
As a pastrami lover from way back, I was in heaven!
I know this is probably more effort than most people are willing to spend for a good sandwich, but for me it was well worth it.

As in "I will not be coming to the beach for the next two days."
Ais Net Sim

I purchased a new iPad 3G the other day and went to a phone store where they sold me a Net SIM card from AIS for 500 baht, telling me I will get 30 hours of 3G.
Does this 30 hours expire? How do I renew it?
How does a "Net SIM" differ from a regular SIM? Is there some way to check the balance in the iPad without taking the SIM out and putting it into a phone?

I am aware that the little face icon changes when that person is watching you, but how are you alerted that someone is now watching you (you cannot scan hundreds of faces continually).
