Just got an email from the Cambridge PD, emphasis mine:
During this busy travel season, the Cambridge Police Department would like to remind ATM users to be aware of skimming devices at area ATMs. These skimming devices are being used as part of an ongoing scheme by thieves to steal account information from customers and to defraud banks. On July 1, 2016, a skimming device (card reader) was located by a customer using an ATM at a local convenience store in Cambridge. The device was attached with double-sided tape. The pinhole camera was located on a plate over the money dispenser area.

These devices are well built and appear to be part of the machine. Customers are asked to take special attention to the card reader dome, and either look over the pin pad area or the money dispenser area for any pinhole camera device.

The Cambridge Police Investigations Unit is actively following up this incident and asking patrols to periodically check ATMs in local convenience stores, gas stations, and other locations.

“If an ATM appears to have been tampered with, please report it right away to the local business and the police,” stated Detective Brian O’Connor of the Cambridge Police Department.
They link to this handy info graphic for basic explanation of skimming.

This is a completely frivolous question, but I'm curious if anyone has an opinion on who makes the best buffalo chicken wrap (or sub) in the Davis and surrounding areas. I'm frequently craving one, and haven't been satisfied with places I've tried lately. Cambridge House of Pizza (on Mass Ave) did an okay one but the quality lately has really slid (last time they gave me BBQ sauce with it instead of buffalo sauce!). Christo's uses grilled chicken, which is healthier, but doesn't satisfy the way a fried chicken cutlet would.

So, anyone have a suggestion/recommendation?

Thanks!
