So today was Brook & i’s anniversary and I had arranged a nice chill day down in the Outer Banks - relaxing on the beach, climbing the dunes at Jockey Ridge, a nice little lunch & key lime pie at Kill Devil Grill - a great day!

So, we decided to stop by the bank on the way out of town to deposit some checks & pull out some cash. But our account was frozen for some reason. So we spent some quality time on the phone & at the credit union finding out someone had gotten Brook’s debit card number to work in New Jersey & charged $662.46 at different stores up there. Card stopped & destroyed, paperwork filled out and now a trip to the police station to file a report.

Let me just tell you, police waiting rooms are more entertaining than airports for people watching. This one was a bit dingy & dreary.

“Can you tell me where I can get a my arrest record?”

“Misdemeanors just stay on your record for 7 years, right?”

Anyway, we made it back to talk to Detective Haughn who knew his stuff on fraud & shared a lot with us. Crazy business!

Finally, 3 hours later, we were on the road to OBX. It turned out to be a great day - it just started a bit different.
