Where thieves break in and steal

A few months ago my wife purchased some cosmetics online from a well known company. She used her debit card to make the purchase. Yesterday, "Black Friday", I received a phone call from my bank asking me if I just spent $9500.00 at an electronics web-site. "Um...NO!", I said. Luckily my bank has a system that flags "unusual transactions" and shut down my card and called me right away. This thief was dumb and greedy enough to attempt a very large purchase. But, if they had taken only a little at a time we might have been too late to catch it. Luckily we don't have much money to "store up" and protect in the first place.
