There's a difference between credit and debit here.

Stolen credit card = bank is missing money; bank is incentivized to retrieve money.

Stolen debit card = you are missing money; bank may choose to help somehow.

They would need to know your pin code too (for authorizing debit transactions) right?

For the record it was my debit card that was skimmed.
