$1600 disappeared! What should we do???
My husband and I were both paid on Thursday, by direct deposit, and it did go through, and was reflected in the balance since yesterday during the day.
This morning, though, $1600 is unaccounted for. Our available balance went from almost $1700 to $31.54 overnight.
Other than about $300, all of the money we've used for spending cleared, and was reflected in the $1700 balance. So the lowest our balance SHOULD have been is about $1400.
We can't find a number to call to our bank, there is only one branch, and they are not open again until Monday morning.
I'm worried someone got the number and has been using it, but I don't know where they would have got it from.
What usually happens in these situations? Will most banks write it off, or are we pretty much screwed, trying to last 2 weeks on $31, unable to make rent or our car payments, not to mention any spending, daycare, gas, groceries, etc?

I know, I've asked this elsewhere.
I put it here, too, because I want to know if there is anything we can do from a legal standpoint.

Should we file a police report?
What are the chances we'd be able to recover our money?

They have online banking, and we are enrolled in it (that's how we saw the balance). However, they dont' show the transactions that are pending, there are just the transactions that have cleared, a balance, and an available balance.
Wierd thing is, this morning, my husband was an at ATM, and he swears the AVAILABLE balance was $1600 something, the same as the actual balance. At the same time, I was online and seeing the available balance of $31, and the actual balance of $1600.
Ohhh, I'm going to be sick....
