It’s definitely a riskier path and you won’t lose anything by not setting the trap 🙂 Plus it will introduce added work (canceling the card, reporting it stolen, etc.) – and I can imagine you’d want to avoid that, especially given your experience.

Not sure if it’s wise to have any activated cards in the dummy wallet. Someone cloned my card before and once that was done, they were able to set their own pin codes and make charges to my account. Criminals are always getting cleverer. I’d let law enforcement do their job and just worry about your own security.

Still, a cracking post, my travel tweet today will be this top post.

It’s such a great example of how Prey can work isn’t it? 🙂

Matthew’s story (linked above: http://expertvagabond.com/tracking-stolen-laptop/) is a great real life example, no marketing ploy there! I hope I’m not in this situation ever as well but good to be prepared with a few tricks of our own 😉
