Peter,

It sounds like your card may have been 'skimmed' somewhere ... producing a card with the same magnetic strip and recording your PIN they can conduct transactions at all sorts of places.

BIGW can be a target to this as they have the auto checkouts in most stores now - so nobody notices a non standard looking cards - just that the payment has been approved and you walk off with the goods.

Good advise to check ATM's etc for strange looking hang on devices and hidden cameras - i've spotted a couple in metro melbourne previously.
