The San Luis Obispo Police Department announced Tuesday it is seeking the public’s help identifying a thief who allegedly stole a credit card and then used it to purchase more than $5,000 worth of product from the Apple store.

On Oct. 24, the thief left the Apple store and headed to Lululemon where he attempted to make another purchase.

Investigators are asking anyone who can help identify the suspect to call officer Ybarra at (805) 594-8113.

Such transactions are impossible when a responsible clerk checks and matches the buyer’s ID.

It’s probably been a decade or more since any clerk asked to see my ID to match it to the card. Maybe if the merchants didn’t receive the funds from fraudulent purchases they would be more inclined to verify IDs.
