I read about this on some website a while ago. What thieves are doing are copying down the numbers on the back of the gift cards, then continuously calling the 800# found on the back of each card to see how much is the balance on them. Once they get a confirmed hit on a gift card, they go to town on someone else's dime. It is hard to prove, but it has been the latest trend of thief that is very popular during this time of the year.
