How do you get to be in two places at once?

Identity Theft!
I am now one of the innumerable victims of identity theft. While reviewing our bank account the other day I noticed a suspicious purchase in the amount of about $800 in North Hollywood. I quickly called my bank to let them know that I live in Utah and there is no way I could be in California and Utah at the same time to make the before mentioned purchase. Luckily I was able to verify I was in Utah as I had purchased a redbox rental here in Utah the same day the suspicious account activity occurred. ( I was really bored, and I do NOT recommend the movie Fame)
The scary part was that the purchase was made in person! So not only did someone get my credit card number they made a copy of my card and have been using it! Scary. Be really careful my friends, you never know who wants to be you

oh my gosh! how horrible! we just had someone start making online purchases with my card not too long ago. oh, and I couldn't agree more! Fame was SOOOOO not what I thought it was going to be... it's like they forgot to put a real storyline in there... oh and let's give this famous dancer some lines, maybe she can act... or not. :)
