Default Do you freeze when someone steals just credit #

I just had someone steal and use my credit card number. The people/computer at Chase caught it and declined the charges and then cancelled the card and said they would inform experian. It got caught because we were swiping the card in Seattle at the same time someone was trying to use the number in Covina Calif.
I didn't put a freeze on my credit should I have do you think? This happened a few years back and I didn't freeze anything and it was ok. Real pain as it was the day before we left to come here and I couldn't get a replacement card as I wouldn't be home to sign for it, had to fall back on my second card no miles

Hubby relies on me to handle this kind of thing I don't want to screw up.
