Roadside Assistance Fraud

My husband's wallet was stolen few months ago.  It contained his AARP Roadside Assistance card.  We had forgotten it was in the wallet.  Short time ago, we recieved a letter from AARP, a feedback request on the service we recieved for towing on our purple 97 Mitsubishi in Georgia.  We've never owned this vehicle and were not in Ga.  I've reported it to AARP.  They said they would investigate it.  This was 3 months ago.  Called them again...they assured me we would recieve new cards.  This thief, however, is still out there with our card.  And apparently, my husband's driver license.  Now, I dont know if we could use the service if we needed to.  Any advice?
