I know this might just reflect financial culture differences across countries, but let's give it a try

Edit: as a clarification, I meant credit card compared to debit, not to cash

In Europe there is a Card Stop number you can use to block your card as soon as you noticed it's stolen.

From the rest of the thread, it seems that US laws protect credit cards better than debit.
