I'm not exactly sure how, but my credit card info was stolen recently. Some minor purchases were made, then some larger, then some very large. I called my bank and reported it all, and they told me that it might help to call the businesses where the purchases were made. So I did.

One of those places was a winery. The lady gave me the number of the person who called (5284515122, which is a Mexico area code), and the fake E-mail address he used. Then, she gave me the address that all the wine would be shipped to... which, weirdly, was my address.

The only thing I can think is that they refused to send the wine to any address besides my credit card's billing address and, so as to not sound suspicious and just hang up, he just decided to go along with the transaction anyway.

Which brings me to the large delivery I got two days ago:

I also got some kind of crazy futuristic wine opener kit, a binder with wine facts, and some hoaky poster of people pretending to make and taste test wine.

The charge for the wine was taken off of my credit card already, and because no one called me about returning it, I decided to have a few friends and I dress up in suits and drink it after our Sunday brunch.

I kind of hate that I didn't take pictures of us drinking it, but just picture five people drinking wine and playing Cosmic Encounters in their Sunday best. We were all pretty wasted by like 4pm.

So, thank you burglar. I would like to dedicate my Sunday to you, and your unintentionally altruistic thievery.
