Over the course of 6 months, 'A' made a total of 117 transactions worth about 1,600,000 KRW (1,500 USD) with the stolen debit card to pay for taxi rides, grocery shopping, and more. 

Police state his ex-girlfriend was unaware of the debit card activities for 6 months because 'A' immediately deactivated the text message alert for card transactions after stealing it. 

It's additionally revealed that 'A' and 'B' originally met through an internet chat, and became a couple. While dating, 'A' memorized the password to 'B's home and he used that to bypass the security door lock and break into her home after their breakup.
