Additional Information from Aurora Police:
Skimming is a method used by criminals to capture data from the magnetic stripe on the back of an ATM card. These devices, referred to as "Skimmers", are smaller than a deck of cards and are often fastened in close proximity to, or over the top of the ATM's factory-installed card reader. ATM skimming is a world-wide problem.
