Hooray for the Martinez Police Department!

Heard about this credit card scam: device attached to gas pumps at service stations; it takes credit card info for later pickup by identity thieves.

Clever, but they made two mistakes: First, they got too greedy; second, they messed with the Martinez PD. Here's one summary: http://claycord.blogspot.com/2010/02/mpd-finds-skimming-devices-at-gas-pumps.html with comments. Here's a Contra Costa Times article too. Good stuff!
