It happened to me, too. I didn't find out till the bill came in. Called the card company and told them I didn't make those purchases.
They took it all off the bill and issued a new card. No problems.
We saw a thing about card ripoffs at restaraunts, though it can happen anywhere. The person taking the card runs it through a card reader that records the magnetic strip. From that fake cards can be made.
It's common enough that card companies half expect it and don't give you any trouble.
