US CONNECT ADVANTAGE VE FERNDALE WA

I saw multiple charges from the "US CONNECT ADVANTAGE VE FERNDALE WA" on my statement and went to investigate with my bank. Apparently this is any Walton sponsored vending machine, since they're based out of Ferndale, WA. And the reason that the dates for it are off is because it can take a few days to be charged to your account. Also why all of the charges are usually $3.50 and under.

I had these charges after using a soda vending machine at the Bellingham mall in Washington

My chime card was stolen inside of my purse in fairhaven/Bellingham and then I get a notification that my chime card had been used at a merchant described as waltb vnd ferndale wa. I’ve been looking all over Fairhaven for hours trying to find the culprit that may be sporting my purse with my cards, make up, perfumes, I.d., etc..but to no avail, nothing until this charge on my card!
