I had mine swiped when a gas station attendant used a card reader on my card when paying for gas.
Check your cc statement -- I bet there is a gas station that yiou typically don't visit that you used recently, and that's where it likely got nabbed.
The good news is that most cc companies have developed some pretty sophisticated algorithmns that monitor your transactions and can quickly flag unusual activity. It is in their best interest to do this of course, but it also protects the consumer.
I hate people who believe they can get something for nothing, or feel entitled to take someone else's hard earned cash.
