TOD, Part 2:
Once, back in the mid-1990s, I made a purchase at a bookstore on Ventura Blvd., then drove over to another store about 15 minutes away.
I started to make a purchase on the same credit card, but it was declined. I called the credit card company from the store and, apparently, during that 15 minute drive, somebody had compromised that credit card.
I made the purchase with another card, and I received a new card from the first company within a week.
