I've been using a debit card since the Dubya administration and I have never had someone use my card after I ate at a restaurant. I assume you live in a big metro area?

In Texas about a decade ago there was a criminal enterprise out of Houston that was putting swimmers on gas station pumps all over the state. Little towns, big towns, country gas stations. My now wife got hit that way.
Swimming at a gas station pump would be uncomfortably lethal.
I am, but some of these events were when I was traveling through smaller Midwest towns. There doesn't seem to be a pattern to it.
In any case, it hasn't happened again since I started using tap to pay whenever possible.
