The meaning of "prove" in this context
Hi.
I am writing in connection with a missing or stolen debit card from your bank. This is an urgent matter as the bank card could prove dangerous in the hands of the wrong person.
What does it mean that the card could prove dangerous?

I'm not sure that it could really prove dangerous; there are many 'dangers' in the sense of your account being drained but I'm not sure how the concept of the card 'proving dangerous' is really justifiable. It could, I guess, be used to buy things which would, in turn, damage people but it seems a rather odd expression to use.
