Dinner Bells

Somebody stole Dave's identy and bought lots of incriminating crap. They somehow got his debit card number (he still has his card and we have never ever used it online) and bought a plane ticket, $1,100 of gift cards to Bed Bath and Beyond, paid their cell phone bill and had some phone sex. I called Bank of America and I must say they responed very efficiently. They had already reversed half of the transactions and they are crediting the remainder next business day. I, being the investigative type of person, decided to call all the places they bought stuff. It turns out that all the companies were already on to me when I called and refused to give me information for fear that I might try to handle the thief myself. I wouldn't have. I would have given the information to the police. The real reason I wanted to find out who it was is that I have seen those lovely commercials on identity theft where the identity thieves appear to be talking through the person that has the accounts. If I am to force Dave to do an impression I think I should know a little about the person that stole his identity. All the companies did say however that they weren't very smart about what they did and will easily be caught. Buying a plane ticket was really stupid. So was paying their cell phone bill for an existing account. Plus, now we all know how pervy he/she is for buying phone sex.
