It was, until yesterday overdrawn, and it had a declined transaction I tried to make on emusic.com... so given how much fraud goes on these days, i wouldn't at all be suprised if it's just locked out because it appears to have been used suspiciously...

As annoyed as I am, it's kind of a good thing to know that your bank has measures in place like this if it REALLY was stolen...
Yeah wait till you go to Mexico, use your bank card to take out some Mexican currency, then go back to the US and try it again to find out it's been locked because there was a transaction done in Mexico. 20 minute phone call (17 of which on hold) and then you're good.
