One more detail, I told you that I couldn't find any of my bank cards. Still haven't found them, so I decided to get online and see my history of cash withdrawals. I had xx. Guess how much I have now?
okokok, relax :-) I have yy because I paid for the uni :-) Mom found the cards in a stack of papers on my desk :-)
Either way, I knew I couldn't lose them. After all - I never have a wallet, so an attacker has no target to aim at (nice strategy, huh? ;), and I always have money bills in each possible pocket, so a thief would stumble upon such a 'stash' and think that he/she found the whole thing and then bug off. And even if the bank cards happen to be in the pocket they're picking - cash is a 100% win, while a bank card is likely to be blocked because of three invalid PINs. So an intelligent attacker will obviously go for the cash and not the plastic.
