I'd keep checking for any activity NOT done by you. Maybe call them and see if they can issue a new card with a new number. I've done that when we "thought" we lost a credit card ... found it in the house later.

I had my credit card stolen...but did not report it...because the guy that stole it was charging much less than my wife was charging.

If you pay it online, sometimes you will automatically be opted out of receiving a mailed copy of the statement. Or, I think I've seen where some are going away from the paper bill completely. I would call them and ask about it.

One thing you could do to monitor this (since identity theft may not show up on your credit card statement for this particular card) is check your credit report regularly, it's free. Annualcreditreport.com lets you pick from the 3 main reporting agencies, so I run one every four months, and just rotate.
Some of those websites that are advertised on TV as free are not so, but this is the main one, and is free. I think it's like $10 if you want to see your actual credit score, as well.
I'd also advise you to be careful - Equifax on that site got tricky with me once as to how I entered my exact address (i.e. #6 or Apt 6 or Apt #6) and made me freak out thinking I had a security freeze on new credit accounts. So I wound up paying them for a report because I got paranoid, and it turned out they just don't have flexibility on how you enter the address. The other two were fine on that.
