I am a Thief!

Due to the workings of my favourite bank, I am now in
the possession of £40 worth of groceries, a home
recycling centre, several pieces of music from iTunes
and a copy of Casino Royale from Amazon, despite not
actually having paid for any of them! It seems that
if you enter your PIN incorrectly into an ATM just
once, then your debit card is frozen until you ring a
number in Spain and ask nicely for them to let you
have your money back again.
I really don't understand why one incorrect entry caused by a slightly jammed keypad should be cause for a block to be put on my account, but that is what seems to happen.
It would of course have to happen on the same day that my bike got a flat tyre just as I was leaving for uni, that I was late for my first lecture, and that I had forgotten to do the reading for my modern politics class, but I suppose that it is good to get all the bad things concentrated into one day so that they are over and done with!
