And the culprit was caught!

Follow-up to my previous post. It always helps to have a corporate account, be it your bank acc, medical insurance, or the PF acc. On submiting the complaint to bank officals, we saw quick action on their part. To add, our security chief at office followed up with them too. We received regular updates about their investigation and within days we got few details about the bike the culprit used, names he registered at purchasing the new mobiles, his present mobile number noted in the form, IMEI num of the new mobile etc. Also they had got hold of CCTV footage from the ATM where my friend had forgotten his card.

CCTV footage did the job. The scene on the footage was something like, my friend withdrawing some money and forgetting to take back the card from the machine and within minutes the person waiting behind comes to use the ATM, sees the card left unattended, silently pockets it and vanishes from the scene. Then he goes on a shopping spree with the card. The culprit was easily identifiable and was caught within few days. He was caught and taken to the police station. My friend got his hard earned money back and the humane side of him requested the police to let go the culprit. we are pretty sure he got some proper bashing before let gone... All ended fine with we paying price of some time wastage for the negligence. It was an expericence;) and the lesson learnt would not be easily forgotten.
