My sister's bank account robbed!

[Steve]

My sister got her paycheck on the 15th and went online to balance her checkbook today (the 18th), only to find her account was drained by five ATM withdrawals from Bucharest:

07/19/2004 ATM/BCIT-45 FLOREASCA BUCHAREST 0717 S

07/19/2004 ATM/BCIT-45 FLOREASCA BUCHAREST 0717 S

07/16/2004 ATM/BCIT-69 FLANCO LUJERULBUCURESTI 0716 S

07/16/2004 ATM/BCIT-69 FLANCO LUJERULBUCURESTI 0716 S

07/16/2004 ATM/BCIT-69 FLANCO LUJERULBUCURESTI 0716 S

She has no idea how the thief got around her PIN since she hasn't given it out and is careful not to. She's started the appropriate dispute with her bank and will be reimbursed.

Anybody seen something like this before? Any tips or insight?

happened to me 2 years ago, someone charged 300+ dollars, by opening an AOL account using my debit/credit card, I was reimbursed one week later. Also it happened to me last week, saw an unidentified 10 dollar charge on my card, just filed a dispute about it yesterday..

Anyone else notice the top two transactions are dated for the day after her discovery?

Time zone difference?

Was her card stolen?
