Help Tyler Perry Catch the 'Idiot' Who Charged $28K to His Credit Card

The Say Whaaaa? Singers are off this week, closely monitoring the news that Lindsey Lohan may skip her court-mandated alcohol-education classes to attend Cannes. While I wait for them to report back, I've got an incredulous dispatch of my own to file: Tyler Perry was robbed! (And not just of a Best Screenplay Oscar nomination for The Family That Preys, either!) Now, the multi-hyphenate wants your help in finding the "idiot" who ran up his credit card bill by more than $28,000 in nine days.

In a note published today on his Web site's message board, Perry followed word of his much-deserved beach vacation with the casual mention that... well, here. Read it for yourself:

By the way, some idiot stole my credit card number. Can you believe that? Take a look at all the stuff they charged. If you know any of these people, call the police.
