Ingrid immediately called the credit union\u2019s fraud department on speaker. Dustin lunged for the withdrawal form, but Mrs. Albano planted herself in the doorway with her cane and refused to move.

Dustin was charged with forgery and theft, and suddenly his expensive Harbor Pointe apartment became another bill he could no longer afford.<\/p>\n
