To be honest I haven't got the time to involve the authorities who will treat me like I've done something wrong and waste even more of my time. But I have and will continue to raise this very strongly with the bank. If they had been more vigilant they had the perfect opportunity to at the very least secure an image.

I don't think the banks care too much as any money it costs them they can easily recover through increasing their charges without any fear of losing business.
