Really,that surprises me. A couple of years ago, I lost my discover card in Staple's parking lot. I got a call from someone from Discover saying that someone found my card and they will send me a new one. They disable my web access to my old discover account, and gave me a new card and account number.
That may be the difference between an individual losing their card and having thousands of cards compromised because their card processor was hacked.
