There's probably competing strategies in the identify thief community. Test with small purchases, or spend big before anyone notices. When they've got me it's been the latter. In the last couple of years I had a guy charge $2,000 of flooring materials in Florida (THAT one Chase didn't flag or decline), and a $250 Uber ride 70+ miles into rural Idaho in the middle of the night.

That second one I suspected a bartender at a dive bar/restaurant I frequent, and where I kept my tab open one night. I asked Uber for the details of the transaction (where they went, who they said they were), and Uber told me they couldn't because of their privacy policy. Privacy?! I bought the trip! (though Chase took care of it immediately).
