The weirdest thing of all is that nobody I spoke with seemed tremendously surprised. This happens every day. Yes, it can create financial havoc and damage you in many ways. But it's common. Ho hum. What??
It's like in LA Story where Steve Martin gets cash from the ATM and immediately a robber puts a gun in his face and says, Hi. My name is Bob. I'll be your robber... (And then Steve Martin hands over his money and they continue on their merry way as though it's totally normal to get robbed.)
We're lucky that the villain in our story has been caught. I imagine she's a snarly-toothed greaseball who toasts little children in the oven and sprinkles them with vinegar before adding them to her worm and beetle stew. What sort of human is so morally bankrupt that they would do this? I know, I know...it happens every day. Get over it.
The best part? She stole our identity by walking up to our house, opening our mailbox, and stealing a check I made out to somebody else. Clearly, our robber is an old-school lame ass who risks visibility and wastes gas, time, and energy. For all that driving she must do, I bet you she doesn't drive a hybrid. Because robbers who drive hybrids? You gotta give 'em snaps for being so thoughtful about the environment. Robbers who don't? LAME.
That really sucks big time...so sorry you had to go through all of this. Glad the puke(s) were nabbed.
