Your story of your ATM card made me think of my loss on Friday which I can only term cyber-loss.
I was paying bills on-line, one of which was a $20.54 amount for using the Sydney motorways on a recent trip.
Friday afternoon is probably not a good time to pay bills on-line - suffice to say that, after a minor lapse in concentration, I paid an amount of $2054 to Roam Tolling!! Damn that decimal point!
The money flew staright out of my account but when I rang Roam Tolling they said it may not reach them 'til next week. It seems my money is somewhere in B-Pay-ville.
So, until the money appears in Roam Tolling's account (at which time they assured me that they will reverse the payment), I have officially lost $2054!!
Raven, of course sanity counts. I think we've all lost ours - I know I lose mine at least once a month, or so my husband says.
Oh Jayne... I am sorry about the decimal point that slipped through your fingers. Such a little loss of concentration and such a large bloody sum of money to have swimming around in cyberspace. I really hope they refund you - otherwise, you need to ride that goddamned toll road up and down til your tires wear down...

Today I lost my self esteem. Or maybe it was stolen, I'm not sure. I hope to recover it by 8pm though.
