Not sure how that works. One doesn't get a cash refund in such a case,
but a credit to the card. And the thief generally doesn't have time to
take advantage of it because the useful life of a stolen credit card is
usually measured in minutes or hours--especially now, when there is no
way that my bank is going to authorize a transaction in Eastern Europe
out of the blue without contacting me first. I know this because I get
e-mails and phone calls from my bank from time to time questioning
out-of-pattern purchases that I have made.
