Conversely, I got my card ripped off from an ATM in London Heathrow. Rather: I made a withdrawal on arrival, the card was returned to me with my cash like normal, it was the only time I used it the whole trip, and I had no idea anything was amiss... until I got home and promptly discovered that someone had mysteriously used "my" card from a completely unrelated ATM elsewhere in London several days later! Luckily I was able to document that, no, I was already well out of the city by then on my return flight, and after several rounds of fraud verification paperwork, my bank refunded the withdrawal. They theorized that the original machine was compromised and the hacker(s) were producing duplicate cards. Not the sort of "crime-ridden" I had ever before thought to associate with airport ATMs....
