That makes no sense at all. The gas station clerk is RINGING UP your VR card and putting $500 on it. He gets your drivers license and credit card with the same matching name. Just how does that add up to a STOLEN credit card? Anyway, they didn't flip out over my $1,000 purchases. What's another $900?
