Goodreads asked Jamie Sinclair:

What mystery in your own life could be a plot for a book?

Jamie Sinclair Years ago, at a friends wedding, my debit card was lost. After much searching of the venue, a staff member returned it to me later that same night. A few days later I noticed some money missing from my account - a payment to eBay. Then another. Small sums. I contacted Paypal who checked and refunded the money and advised I report it to the police. It turned out that my card had been cloned and used in numerous transactions. The criminals were eventually tracked to a flat in Ireland where they had hundreds of cloned cards. Police informed me that the criminals had been put on a plane and deported back to their own country. It was fascinating to keep receiving the updates from the police and get a small sense of their work and very satisfying to know they caught those responsible.
