So, this morning I very nearly posted a thread requesting prayers because Jen and I came up dramatically short in our savings account. Before I did, I decided to check and see where the money had come out and why only to discover several ATM withdraws that I know we were not present to make.
I called up the bank and we started talking about it and I discovered that in addition to the $1,000 missing from our savings account, my wife's account had a withdraw for $800 posted to it. We don't know how far the damage goes yet, but this is the situation as it stands.
Any prayers for a good resolution would be very appreciated. The event would have even registered on our radar had it not been for the fact that I went in this morning to transfer funds for something, so I know God is already putting His hand in this...

Saying my prayers for you.
May the Lord bless you and keep you.
May He cause His face to shine upon you.
May He lift up His countenance and grant you peace.

Maokun: Ninjas or Pirates? (Vikings are not a valid answer, sorry)

Well, Jen's going in to sign the affidavits today saying that we were not the ones who used the money. They've found the ATM it was withdrawn from. Some ATM out in one of the towns in St. Louis county which is about forty minutes from her. My ex-banker mother says that makes it sound like a professional who will likely not get caught.

UPDATE:
We found what we suspect to be the cause

My mother is already a known victim of this. She found her card had been deactivated and called the bank to find out why. They turned it off because it was one of the cards recognized as being scammed in what's now being called the "Hancock Scam" where skimmers have been placed in Hancock Fabrics credit card readers around the country. They take the information of your card when you buy your stuff (not Hancock, the scammers) and make fake debit cards used to draw the money out of an ATM.
