If someone gets hold of your bank/atm card, they can wipe you out, especially if you don't keep a large balance in the account. Banks are usually pretty helpful and any VISA/MC branded card has the same fraud coverage as most CC's but it can take weeks to undo the damage. Meanwhile, you still have bills to be paid and checks that will be cashed, whether there is money in the account or not.
Exactly. I cringe every time I see someone using their debit card... Had mine stolen twice, huge PITA.. Same thing happens with the CC, get a new one in two days and all is well with the world again...
