Happened to me with my bank debit card last year. Luckily for me, the Interac network noticed suspicious behaviour when the theif deposited an empty envelope purporting to have $1500 in it, and tried to remove an illegal amount of cash (above my set limit). The machine ate the card and the bank called me the next day.
I'm pretty sure my card got scanned at a gas station - the only strange place I had used it prior to the incident.
I just use my Electron card at my bank's ATM and at local shops now.
