Can credit card numbers be traced?
While your bank can track stolen cards, the tracking isn't perfect. It can generally only track the card if it gets used. Also, since people usually pay when they are on their way out of a retail establishment, it's reasonable to expect that they would be gone by the time that law enforcement could arrive.
