So far no luck w/ the store (they can only pull up the last 4 digits) and the gift card company is like "we treat this like cash, sorry" but they gave me a number for the regional loss prevention officer and she is trying to work her magic. It's a long shot, and I'm praying for a miracle. And feeling a little green...
So it's not a visa or MC gift card but a grocery store card? Wouldn't that mean that they can cancel or freeze that card and transfer the balance to a new one? I hope that that's how they will handle it.
Of course you have the best kids because they have the best Mom. That's a no brainer...DUH!
Bethie... they need my whole card number as groc store gift cards are harder to trace. So...

When D6 heard I lost my cards, she told me not to get them replaced b/c I might just get new ones for Christmas. ( ) Then she 'whispered' to my sister that she wants to give them to me secretly and sign 'from you know who'.
I was just telling this to my mom and I walked over by the computer and there was an envelope w/ my name on it signed 'from you know who' with cash in it- 2/3 of the money I lost. I protested. My mom is a jerk and would not take 'no' for an answer. I'm so lucky.
Still waiting to hear back from the grocery store.
So... the good news... $58 is still on my groc card. The bad news... they spent $400. I'm such an idiot. I just filed a police report. They may be able to catch this person, but that won't get my money back. What an expensive lesson in carelessness.
