Conactless credit cards....forward or backward step?

[mcshroom]

IIRC from when my card details got stolen 10+ years ago, the bank reports it to the police. I seem to remember having to talk to CIFAS and there being a crime number, but I don't remember phoning the police directly.

[edit] Looks like I do remember correctly: -

What should you do if you’ve been a victim of bank card or cheque fraud?

Immediately report lost or stolen cards or suspected fraudulent use of your card to your card company. You should also report lost or stolen cheque books or any missing cheques. Banks and companies have 24-hour emergency numbers printed on account statements.
Report the offence to the relevant bank or card company, which will then be responsible for reporting the matter to the police. If the theft of your cards or cheques involved another crime – for example, if your bag was also stolen – you should make sure it is reported to the police.

Is that because you're hiding in my wardrobe again?
