Hi Guys,
Don't worry, I just checked, and I'm me. I have a mole on the bottom of my foot no one else knows about.
Anyway, thanks for the advice!
Well good news, turns out her keys were in her pocket and not her bag, so all they got was a little bit of Cash and every bit of plastic and paper information she owned.
We got confirmation that it was stolen, and not somehow lost in that whoever stole it used a credit card to fill up their car 15 minutes after snagging the handbag, from the price ($30.00) I'm figuring they got about 10 gallons of premium (I can't even remember the last time I filled my car with premium). We've canceled the major cards and the store cards, but we can't contact our health insurance until Tuesday, so I hope they aren't running out to get major surgery as I type this.
I was a little disappointed that all the police did was take her name and social security over the phone. My wife eyeballed the woman who she thinks stole it (the woman followed her around for a little while) but the police weren't interested.
I'll be contacting the credit bureaus to put on a freeze asap but I'm concerned about the long term effects of having a felon impersonating my wife. A friend of ours had his briefcase stolen a couple of years ago, and now he has to carry around several letters 24x7 because there are so many arrest warrants out for "him" related to every form of fraud you can imagine. He commented that there is no such thing as a 'routine' speeding stop for him anymore, and although they'll tell you otherwise, the credit companies treat him like he has the plague."
