identity theft
soon after i returned from my cross-country adventure, i received a call from my bank. they reported a highly suspicious trend of spending and wanted to make sure i was aware of the situation. the representative cited several alarming transactions in a short span of time:
- Chinese food for three in San Diego
- irresponsible withdrawals followed by a large influx in Las Vegas
- steady supplies of flashlight batteries throughout Arizona
- something called a “Gringo oil change special” in El Paso
- a souvenir to help remember the Alamo in San Antonio
- the better part of a cow in Lockhart
- strawberry and banana pancakes in Little Rock
- hoppin’ john and a BB King t-shirt in Memphis
- Hooters wings and a bloody mary in Nashville
- several liters of energy drink in Asheville
- breakfast for four in Charleston
as near as we can tell, here is the path of recklessness that these obviously misguided hooligans carved across the country.
