. Said do not buy gift cards from the rack, only from behind the counter if possible.
We must be willing to get rid of the life we've planned,
so as to have the life that is waiting for us.

How does someone use a gas card without the card itself? I have several gas cards, you have to present the card to be run through the scanner in order to use it. It's not like an Visa card where you can order online. The thief must have been in cahoots with a Shell gas station employee in order to make a purchase without the actual card in hand. I would think it would be pretty easy for Shell to identify what clerk(s) were working at the time of the fraud. Then you have your pool of likely suspect(s). Then time to review the video.
I am also wondering how the card info can be used without the card? Do you not need the card to enter it "swipe" it at the pump?
Anyway, sorry you lost out on your purchase !

I agree with you. Though I often write out checks but, a lot of places will not take them anymore.
To the OP. Sorry for your loss.
I'm kind of the opposite....I pretty much use a CC for everything. I never carry a balance, I haven't for 20 years. My card's reward points are tied to Amazon, so I get a lot of things for "free" or at a "discount". Another advantage is in most stores I can return things without a receipt, just provide the card it was purchased with.

One could walk out of the store with the Shell card, keep it any number of weeks, copy it (tape VCR recording material onto a piece of plastic and then use a copy machine to write all the essential data onto the fake card) then return the real card back to the rack, where it is purchased any number of weeks later, and they already have a duplicate of that card data...

You read into my post, what you want too see
I never said he did anything wrong
I stated my thoughts on the thief and use of the card number
And the fact that it is in someone's best interest to use the card
Not wait six months, it does not gain interest sitting in the drawer at home, it only increased the chance of fraud and loss
