Fred Timmons related this cautionary story from one of his CPA friends. (The CPA's) wife's purse was stolen along with her driver's license and debit card. The thief was able to go to her bank and the bank issued temporary checks putting her bank account at risk. If your debit card or driver's license is stolen notify the bank to lock down your bank account.
