If someone broke into G/L they would be stealing credit card numbers not bidding on trucks. Wayne

I would lay odds that what really happened is your brother sold, or otherwise disposed of his computer, and left the disk drive in place with his GL account and password stored in the browser. The new owner of the computer thought he might have some fun, and bid on a truck... possibly not realizing (or caring) what he was really doing...
The only truly safe way to sell a computer is to remove the hard disk, and sledge hammer it. Most folks are not sophisticated enough to know how to wipe the drive properly.

See if you can find out who is attatched to the new e-mail account, call the cc company and let them know someone was attempting to steal that card # and go from there.
Yeah it sounds a bit odd.
How did your brother find out about it by the way if his email address was changed?
Well if you can't get any headway with GL, couldn't your brother just screw up the EUC application on purpose, causing the sale to become invalid?
Don't know, an idea.
