But when it came time to enter an address for the items to be shipped, McCoy used her home address in Jupiter. Thats all police needed to connect the stolen cards to a real person. According to a police report reviewed by BocaNewsNow.com, a woman accidentally left her wallet in a shopping cart at the Publix where Racanti works. Racanti found the wallet and, instead of turning it in, took the credit cards and shared the numbers with his girlfriend 18-year-old Lauren McCoy. Working from Racantis dorm room in Unversity Towers at FAU, McCoy allegedly went on an online shopping spree but almost every attempted purchase generated an alert that stopped the transaction and notified the woman to whom the credit cards belonged. McCoy allegedly tried to make additional purchases once she returned home to Jupiter.

McCoy allegedly tried to make additional purchases once she returned home to Jupiter. That victim, who we are not identifying, provided the alert information to detectives at the Boca Raton Police Department who obtained subpoenas to obtain specifics. Ebay, UrbanOutfitters, and others complied giving police enough information to connect the dots. Those dots led to both Lauren McCoy and Dennis Racanti. Both were arrested. Lauren McCoy is charged with fraudulent use of credit card more than twice in six months, and use, possess, attempt to use the identification of another person without consent. She was booked into the Palm Beach County Jail and later released on $2,000 bond. Racanti, 19, is charged with two counts of larceny and two counts of fraud. He was also booked into the Palm Beach County Jail and later released on $3,000 bond. Both are facing upcoming court dates. ____________________________________________________ If you can help with the cost of the Humor Letter, please donate what you can! ______________________________________________________ From: Laura Re: How to pack laptop for air travel Dear Webby, You used to travel alot. What is the proper or best way to pack a laptop for air travel? Laura Dear Laura You are probably used to keep laptops and cameras on top of things in your carry-on bag, to make the security check fast and simple. Well, I found out the hard way that no matter how often you had a carry-on bag on board an airplane, certain airlines may on the spur of the moment decide to take it from you and toss it in with the luggage underneath. To make sure that the carry-on does not roll off the conveyor, they slam-dunk it upside down onto the conveyor. To keep the wincing and crying to a minimum, re- pack your lap-top and camera after the security check so that it is in the middle and has some protective cushioning on all sides. Have FUN! DearWebby
