Sheriff Joe Arpaio of Arizona apparent victim of credit card fraud

Source: CBS

Sheriff Joe Arpaio's reputation for being hard on criminals is well known, but, in at least a small way, the tables have turned.

Sheriff's officials said Monday Arpaio had his credit card information stolen to the tune of $291.

Arpaio said someone used his Discover card last week to buy groceries in Chicago at a store called Jewel. He said he's hasn't been to Chicago in many years.

Stealing is bad!
However, I can't be real sad for Apiehole, since I've hated him since the early 90's... he enjoys stealing people's dignity.

Somehow they steal the data during a transaction. The itself card isn't stolen.

Our credit card company is very good at catching these purchases.

Why only $291? Some symbolism behind that figure?

"In Michigan, HR 291 urges repeal of SB 1070 and asks Michigan businesses and public and private organizations to refrain from doing business with or in the state of Arizona. The resolution was introduced on May 26."

Hell, if the rightie nut jobs can come up with all those "tin foil hat" conspiracy theories, I can come up with some too! Nerk, nerk!

How can this inept sheriff find the perpetrators of this crime when he can't even find Obama's birth certificate.
