So enough time for the card and PIN to arrive at the flat for her to open and activate. She then went to London for 2 dAysgarth to buy the mobile to frame Maria.
She could have got cash back from shops or even pubso using the card. It'll be nice the statement but how does Maria prove it wasn't her. GCHEERS can access road cctv but not everywhere has it. I know as I was the victim fa hit and run car crash recentlyrics luckily I wasn't hurt but my car was bad and I informed the Police (as legAlly required) and they checked and no cctv despite it being a fairly busy raboutility in a town centre.
She chap storyline but I can believe she hasn't been caughtnot TV and she's livingon money taken from Maria's”
I agree there's a lot of potential holes in the storyline but some of it can and has been explained, although some only as throwaway remarks.
IIRC Maria has said that she'd applied for the credit card herself, Caz then found the the card in the post which Maria didn't bother looking at before she left for London. A bit odd perhaps as you'd at least glance through it, especially if you're likely to be away for three weeks (although Maria had mentioned a few days, not weeks). Even so, looking at the post would be normal, more so if there was a chance that something useful like a new credit card would be in there.
Caz has clearly tried to use the card in places in London to incriminate Maria, the one thing that might catch her out is the train tickets. Ideally Caz should have paid in cash but if she used the card (and Maria used a different card), there would be two sets of tickets which would make no sense even if Maria was trying to cover her tracks. It could be argued that she popped back from London to Weatherfield but the direction of travel would be wrong (unless Caz just bought expensive singles). CCTV at the railway stations could resolve this.
I thought it had been said that Caz used the card in a couple of cash machines but I might be confusing myself with some of the things posted here!
The card has now been stopped so it remains to be seen how Caz is funding herself now...
What makes no sense to me is the scissors - even if Maria did stab Caz with them, why would she then put them back in her case without cleaning them? That only makes sense if Caz wanted to freak Maria out, it makes no sense at all if there really was a murder. Not that it matters if the police don't find them.
