Identity Thief Apprehended By Victim

Posted by Zonk on from the power-to-the-people-marty dept.

ewhac writes "Karen Lodrick was entering her sixth month of hell dealing with the repercussions of having her identity stolen and used to loot her accounts. But while she was waiting for a beverage, there standing in line was the woman who appeared on Wells Fargo security video emptying her accounts. What followed was a 45 minute chase through San Francisco streets that ended with the thief being taken into custody by police."

    On top of the credit cards and prada bags, that fiend even had the tenacity to start up a web consulting business in her name!

    ...Yes, I know, but after all she's been through I think she deserves a gratuitous plug.

    Would they convict you on successful (as opposed to attempted) suicide?

      I wouldn't say Habeas Corpus so much as Rigor Mortis.
