First, I hope you have put a stop on all cards.

As for penalties that would be up to a judge to decide. it all depends on the types f charges. if they are in fact military then they would possibly face military reprimands.

Well it should be easy to catch the Marine if you know who and where they were cashed. You won't be charged if you have notified your bank. Call the base and Im pretty sure they will help you find out who the thief is. They don't want their reputation tarnished. Don't wait either do it right now or right away in the morning. And they should be punished according to the crime. And if it is a Marine I think they will be doubly punished once form your local gov't and then from the military. Good Luck!

Cancel the card for heavens sake. Then go to your bank and contest the charges. About the punishment……they have a hard time prosecuting ID theft. I hope it goes good for you
