Yes. I've had my entire bank account emptied of 25,000 in the 1990's by someone of a different ethnicity and gender who had simply went through a dozen drive throughs of my bank in different city to cash checks in about an hour in an amount under the one that would have required more attention (as explained to me by the bank. They simply wrote checks out for cash and used the memo "to purchase car") I lived in Austin and the thief did this in Houston. I don't know if this same scheme is possible today.

Who paid the piper on that one, you or the bank? Not familiar with the laws in Texas.

I had to sign a paper in the bank swearing I did not withdraw the money and would help the bank as a witness if they found the criminal and then they gave me the equivalent amount of money in my account. IIRC it was kind of weird because they had grainy video/photos of the woman committing the crime.
