People suggested they might leave the country with them. But I really don't see why you would. I wouldn't. Nobody even knows I have cards unless I tell them. And if you came to my house, you'd never see them.

Their faces are all over the internet. That's the problem for them, not the cards so much. If you were planning this crime and knew you would likely be on surveillance video, how would you plan to avoid the domestic authorities?
