found: ATM card

[intuition-ist.livejournal.com]

i went to the Citizen's Bank ATM across from the Holland St. entrance to the T today around noon, only to find an ATM card left in the machine. if the owner could send me a message with the name on the card and the bank it was issued from, and I can arrange to return it. if i hear nothing by sunday afternoon, I'll drop it by the somerville police department.

I strongly feel you should not do this. All ATMs have a camera, if you try to actually guess the password (and with some peoples poor passwords, you might succeed with AAAA) whether or not you are successful, you may be technically arrestable as a forger or a thief.

Think of it this way: if you forgot your ATM card somewhere public, and some random person out of the blue contacts you, wouldn't you be at least a little unnerved? I know I'd likely at least change my PIN if not ask the bank for a replacement card (since who knows how many people might now know my private ATM number, etc).

I recommend dropping it in a mailbox or bringing it to the proper bank on Monday.
