David, sorry but the statistics do not back up your claim, counterfeit and card skimming has been dramatically reduced, pay pass has not increased this type of theft
lost/stolen card fraudulent transactions are also lower as card cancellation methods are far more efficient these days

you did not mention The Witches with the formidable Anjelica Huston and I guess Hocus Pocus would qualify ass well

I saw this episode of Buffy ;)
