I'm guessing that was a test to see how closely you monitor your card.
If that had slipped through, the thief probably would have tried something more brazen. Little did the thief know that he was dealing with a Lounge Lizard and that, ironically, booze and/or adult entertainment charges would probably go completely unnoticed against the backdrop of the other similar legitimate purchases, but something responsible such as tax preparation software really sticks out like a sore thumb.
