Come on guys, don't fuck up this thread.
At least give me the chance to talk Target into giving me the info on the scammer.

One time, let Druff find the person who did it and get them on radio.

Lancaster and Palmdale were once promising areas, with new houses and lots of new businesses (mostly chains) surrounding them.
The population quickly exploded in the '80s and '90s.
Unfortunately much of that explosion came from inner city Los Angeles families moving out there to get away from the gang scene, noticing that the housing prices (and rents) were similar for comparable properties to the inner city.
Looked like a great idea until too much of that happened, and Lancaster/Palmdale youth formed their own gangs. The areas became crime-ridden, and now is mostly a mixture of trash from all races.
Crime situation has improved somewhat since the '90s, but that's the case everywhere. But crime is also on its way back up everywhere, so....
That, and the weather kinda sucks by SoCal standards. Very hot in the summer, cool in the winter, and it's seemingly always windy outside.
Also, it's in the middle of nowhere. Newhall/Valencia/Canyon Country is about 30 miles away, and that's the closest thing to it.
Many residents there still work in LA and suffer the brutal commute each morning and afternoon.
druff, you have some bad luck, and larry, so true about target being the end game in a lot of scams
double post tilt, druff, how often are you checking your various bank accounts? i set the line at every 20 minutes.

mail carrier arrested for stealing thousands in gift cards.
Between Aug. 2013 and Oct. 2014, Friend allegedly stole mail worth at least $2,000 from her routes. The Westfield woman was caught after being captured on video using a stolen gift card at a store, police reports said.
Once a Westfield Police investigation determined that Friend had left work on a Oct. 2014 day with a stolen letter in her vehicle, police stopped her and found "numerous pieces of stolen mail in her vehicle," police reports said, all of which was allegedly stolen from Westfield and Southwick residents.
The value of stolen items in Friend's car totaled $2,175, according to police.
During an interview with police, Friend admitted to stealing mail for more than a year, and said she had only kept cash and gift cards and "threw everything else away," reports said.

After reading this post, my thoughts go to the democratic voters that are employed by places like Target. I found it odd that if someone had attained that much cash, that they would go and spend it in a Target, more oddly still, nowhere else.
That the one Target was helpful and the other gave you grief may be an indication that you have, perhaps, have spoken to the individual that is responsible for your misfortune.
Motive and reaction tell strong stories. People do what they know, and i'm guessing your culprit knows Target. Someone that could get a debit card from a check account # that would most likely be the person working in customer service.
The post office has its distibution center in Santa Clarita that services mail deliveries in San Fernando Valley and adjacent areas. For example, a letter mailed in Westlake Village going to Thousand Oaks will go to from Westlake Village to Santa Clarita and from there back to Thousand Oaks.
I would think you letters would have gone to Santa Clarita, and from there on to the distribution centers that service area you backers live in.
(Santa Clarita is about 30 miles southwest of Palmdale & Lancaster)

did you see the amounts that were taken? about $200.
the cops won't even give you a call back on such matter.
I think the suggestion of calling the bank, reporting the fraud, and having the bank refund the money is the best solution here.
LoL @ thinking this can be handled with the police. they have other things to do.

Simple Theft of $200ish isn't going to be looked at as hard as Identity Theft, which many prosecutors have a hard-on for. With all the security breaches lately, Target included, I'm very surprised the one store took the hard line. I would bet if you get a hold of management, or the Corporate office here in Minnesota, you'll have a different answer. I do know someone who works at Target Corp if you want me to dig for a direct line on someone here who can help, for the lulz.
What a pain in the ass. I feel for Druff as this has happened to me. It is a HUGE pain in the ass to close a bank account and reopen one. It isnt like calling your credit card company up and disputing a charge. It takes a good hour, you have to fill out paperwork, and then re setup all auto debit accounts (for example electric, mortgage, etc). On top of all that you need to get a new debit card for the account. After it is all said and done (depending on how many things you have auto pay from the account) you are into it for a solid day. We have so many security features for credit cards these days but very little for checks.
