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."

    since they aren't doing anything, just deal with it yourself.

    I agree completely. Also, consider this: if she had carried a gun, she could have saved herself a 45-minute chase.

    Wrong wrong wrong! If someone breaks into your home, while you are there, as soon as you acknowledgte you do not know them and you put no other family members at risk, kill them immediately. Who gives a flying fuck why they broke in. This is the kind of scum we really, really don't need.

    Of course if you'd prefer to play twenty questions with the criminal, go right ahead but don't be surprised if you end up watching your girlfriend get ass-raped while you get to watch and then have your throat slit - up to you though since heaven forbid - you actually hurt one of these criminal parasites.

    and oh yeah - feel free to spout your moronic opinions about what the guy did at the airport after YOUR child gets raped. You have taken fair play to an idiotic extreme.
