I have 3 roomates. One robbed me. Lets play detective.

how can someone buy something in person with a credit card number and no card???

And why would someone buy a fucking engine??

my theory--If one of your roomates has the hookup on the black market--ie. drugs, stolen goods, then I would blame him cause he would know someone that he could sell the engine to.

I would blame roomate #2, being a used car dealer, he is already dishonest and money hungry. He would have a reason to buy an engine.

and how can the salvage yard not be sure what they sold on your credit card. Shit I would take them to court, first they sell a 680$ something to someone with somebody who has a creditcard # and no card, then they say they don't know what it was?? sounds fishy, I smell conspiracy between the salvage yard and the used car dealer.

Leave your credit card on the kitchen table with a string tied to it.

Run this string through three pulleys, on against the wall, one at the top of the wall, and one just over the credit card.

Attached to this string is a water balloon filled with hydrochloric acid.

Leave a note next to credit card: "PLEASE DO NOT TAKE MY CREDIT CARD."

Go to bed.

Apprehend suspect.

Otherwise, take a trip with your attorney to the salvage yard and threaten to sue for credit card fraud and whatever other charges your lawyer can invent unless they provide you with all information regarding the individual who made the $680 purchase.

Kick out the perpetrator, sue him, and then sue the salvage yard anyway even though they gave you the information.

Good luck.

My guess is number 2.

My credit cards were stolen by a roommate and
he charged thousands. It is not your responsibility
to figure out who did the theft.

Call police and report a stolen credit card.
You'll have to make a statement, and sign it, but
that can often be done in your home, not at the police station.
Call the card company and report it stolen. NOW!
Time is of the essense, the sooner the better.
Company will write off the theft, you may owe
no more than $50. But they will require that you
file a police report.
If you delay, or if you fail to file a police report,
then you are responsible for the full amount.

Bullshit, they are his roomates he better find out who did it. But your right its not his financial resp. Thats what credit cards are for call them up tell them you didnt buy it and they take care of it from there on.. Shit one of my buddies in college charged 11k to 4 cards and a month later said it was stolen - they fucked around with him, like why didnt you call earlier if it was stolen but in the end they forgoe the charges.
