Dang, doesn't that just figure.

I have often wondered what goes through the mind of someone using another persons ID.

[Ron61]

Obviously not getting arrested and then finding out the person's ID you stole was wanted. Now he not only got a free trip but faces additional charges.

Other way around Ron, the guy they picked up was Joe Orus, but the person that was wanted in Kentucky had stolen his identity and was using it. Now they don't know the identity of the guy who is wanted. They don't even have a name to go off of.

Joe,

Thanks for correcting me on that. I did get it backwards. Things like that confuse old people like me easily.

We have had our identity stolen. It is not fun and a major pain in the ass to clean up. It cost us several thousand dollars and so far almost six years and we still have problems with it to this day!

I would like to catch the people that did it, we wouldn't need a jail cell.
