Hrm, I'm not sure this is security related, but as we're on the topic of credit cards, I worked at a bank for several years. If I had a dollar for everytime someone called to say their cc/ATM card had been stolen... But having them stolen wasn't enough for most of these folks. You tell them not to panic, we will cancel the card, blah blah blah....and inevitably, you get the response "But.....I had my PIN number written on the back of the card!!" As if signing them isn't bad enough....What kind of person WRITES their PIN number on the back of the corresponding card?!
