I know I'm in the UK, but I had my new three-yearly bank card stolen in the post a few years back. I had no idea as my current card was still valid. The day the new one was valid, I got paid and thieves emptied my account with a succession of transactions.
The police couldn't care less about it, the banks didn't seem to really care about the crime, either. But they refunded every fraudulent transaction. Took about a week, and I had no money in the meantime. Since that time I have always had two accounts, one with some emergency cash in.
In those days you just signed for things, there was no PIN number on transactions.
