BSC Open - unfortunate experience

[unbelman.livejournal.com]

BCS in Davis is now open. It's a pretty small space and I wonder what it will be like after the new year (resolutions and all) and during peak hours.

I went today at about noon. I worked out for about 10 mins and then needed to use the rest room, when walking past my locker I noticed the lock was missing. My credit card, debit card and diver's license were all gone. Oddly, my watch and the money (about $60) were still there. The staff was sympathetic but not much they can do.

Luckily the debit card was with Wainwright so I just walked on over and they did everything. And I had literally cancelled the credit card right before leaving the house because of another issue. Not looking forward to the trip to the registry.

The staff recommended a key lock as opposed to a combination lock like I had.

All in all, it could have been worse...

FYI - one thing to be aware of regarding identity theft. I once had someone use ONLY my name and address (I had no ID's stolen, and this information is easily obtained from nothing more than a phone book!) and set up a bank account. I was lucky because they did not have my SS# or phone # - it was more of an annoyance than anything else, and a worry that it would affect my credit report. I found out when I started receiving notices from lots of stores regarding bounced checks. The stores were good about it (it was relatively easy to prove it wasn't me), and I eventually traced it back to the bank. A police report is definately necessary because you may need it to prove to someone that your ID was stolen if you ever have to dispute any charges, fees, etc. It was time, and paperwork, and worry, but eventually, thankfully, went away. Good luck!
