    Had similar issues twice. One time our card was used at an Arby`s location two days after we had been there. Figure that one out. You know it was an employee but don`t know if it was investigated. The other time was 1 year after we had taken a trip to Cancun, we used our card at a restaraunt while there and almost a year to the day later we were charged the exact same amount our meal came to and at the same location. They had a new card in our hand the next day in both instances.

    I trust my card with Amazon before trusting it at McDonald`s . I`ve seen a Starbucks Drive through employee steal a customer`s card number by just taking it out of sight for a few seconds... the day after she was caught in a surveillance video shopping at a dept. Store with the customer`s card.

    Every time I`ve gotten my card stolen was at a fast food joint or department store(brick & mortar) .

    I rarely use the drive-thru and don`t let them walk away with my card. I worked fast food for a few years in high school and watched a few people get fired for credit card theft.

    Huh, I`ve never used a card at a fast-food place. Never even used it at a Denny`s that I can recall. For some reason I think of those as places where I just pay in cash.

    Hey i LOVE my truck. And theoretically this will be effective.

    I see hail claims on a daily basis for a living. I ended up covering the side too but it wouldnt stay with the wind

    Call it overkill but isn`t that kind of the premise we operate under in general with regards to car care?

    Never said it was a bad idea, just that it was a first. My truck would take way too much cardboard for that if they called for hail.

    I think that`s a great idea and I`d do that too if there were any heads up of hail coming. A stitch in time...

    I figure cardboard has a stronger rigidity than the cloth towels so why not try it..now will it all hold..who knows the paint doesnt exactly like things to adhere to it (tape)
