I got a call from the bank asking if I'd spent over $8k today on my debit card at a mall and restaurant in a shady part of town... I said no, and they ended up refunding me and issuing me a new card.

They did ask me to make a statement to the police, which I did.

Funnily enough when I talked to the police, they said, "Oh, $7k, is that all? Just today we had someone lose over $140k".

How do you even spend $140k on a credit card? Must have been a platinum card or whatever.

I'm in Australia, not sure how different things are here.

Interesting. In EU the bank's liability is typically limited. However, but now that I think of it, they are only liable for bigger sums, not petty theft. So if you get scammed of up to, say, 200 euro, they don't care. Anything more than that, they do.
