LAKEWOOD - A restaurant server was confronted with the woman accused of impersonating her for parasitic purposes.
Lakewood police say we can all learn a lesson from what happened next.
Brianna Priddy's wallet was stolen on Feb. 13 during a night out with friends.
On Feb. 25, a customer came to the Applebee's on the 10600 block of West Colfax in Lakewood where Priddy works as a server. At first, they looked like any other customers> but Priddy soon learned who they really were.
"Four people come in, walk in, sit down. They start ordering drinks. This girl hands me my ID as a fake ID," Priddy said. Dumb dumb-dumb dumb/Dumb dumb-dumb dumb DUMB!
It had been a rough couple of weeks for Priddy.
"My wallet was stolen. It was a pain in the butt," Priddy said.
They took her cash, credit cards, and worst of all her driver's license. Someone was using her identity, writing hundreds of dollars in bad checks.
Now that someone, was sitting in Priddy's section.
"But I didn't say anything. I handed it back to her and said sure I'll be right back with your margarita. [I] went straight to the phone, called the cops," Priddy said. "Hello? The beauzeau who stole my wallet has passed off my own ID as hers."
Priddy acted like nothing was wrong.
"I put on my server smile and tried to take care of them, but I was shaking like crazy," Priddy said.
Officer Friendly arrived in minutes.
Police spokesman Steve Davis cannot release the name of the woman they arrested because the investigation is ongoing.
"Dumb criminal! That's the first [word] that comes to mind," Davis said. "We found some narcotics in this woman's possession, so she's in quite a bit of hot water."
Davis says the case is among the most unusual coincidences he's ever encountered in more than 30 years of law enforcement. Even more bizarre, Davis says, is that the suspect is 26 and more than old enough to buy a drink with her own ID.
"You don't hand somebody their own ID as a fake," Priddy said. And if they look like the person whose ID you have, and this place is close enough to your home that the commute is reasonable...
Priddy has her license again and she also has quite a story for her customers.
"I am the .00001 percent that it happens to," Priddy said.
Priddy says the suspect doesn't even look like her, so that stolen ID was a ticket to the slammer, any way you slice it.

Personally I think this sort of thing is why nobody went to see that Identity Thief movie. Nobody wants to sympathize with the thief, they want to see them punished. The only laugh in the trailer is when she gets her head smacked into the side of the car.
Someone should create a slasher movie where the killer goes into a building full of identity thieves and internet scammers. You'd have people cheering by the end if the killer got away and people got a little vicarious payback for all the nonsense we put up with from these leaches.

About 30 years ago, I was handed the bank card of one Mr. Lance Parker.
The only Lance Parker I knew was working at Nordstrom's, and not very likely to be shopping in my Western Attire store. Oh, and the Lance I knew was a ginger.
I called Lance, and sure enough, he had been the victim of a theft. Clackamas county sheriff's office was more than happy to come over and make an arrest.
Former U.S. president George W. Bush visited Korea on Wednesday and Thursday. Bush came at the invitation of a real estate developer and gave a congratulatory speech at the launch of a new project that is to be built with American investment.
Bush stressed the importance of the Korea-U.S. alliance, saying it is more important than any treaty signed by the two sides. He also said his government worked very closely with Seoul during his term at the White House.
Bush congratulated President Park Geun-hye on her new government.
He headed back to the U.S. on Thursday afternoon aboard a chartered plane.

Note the all business approach, ie, quick in - quick out, no golf outing, no week long vacation in conjunction with travel, no hefty entourage of slobbering strap hangers and preppy media sycophants.
Note the mint in the mouth to President Park Geun-hye prior to wheels up.
The pilots, who formerly flew A-10s and F-16s, didn't seem interested in excuses. Their comments, quoted in the report, are scathingly direct.
"Difficult to see [other aircraft in the visual traffic] pattern due to canopy bow," one said.
"Staying visual with wingman during tactical formation maneuvering a little tougher than [older] legacy [jets] due to reduced rearward visibility from cockpit," another added.
Said a third, "A pilot will find it nearly impossible to check [their six o'clock position] under G [force]."
"The head rest is too large and will impede aft visibility and survivability during surface and air engagements," one pilot reported.
Most damningly: "Aft visibility will get the pilot gunned every time" during a dogfight.

Oh please. Haters just gonna hate. In the meantime, suck my six.
This is not the 60's. Any pilot who gets close enough to the enemy to have them on their six is already dead. (Test pilots, think about it.)
The visibility out of the F-35 is better than the F-2000 Frenchy fighter or the SU-35, and as I said, if you need visibility there then call your wingman, break, or die.
I am so tired of this endless dribble about how the F-35 is a bad plane. It is not. It is more expensive than current planes, has one engine (which is dumb), is new and has new problems to sort out, and is not quite as nice as we planned when we speced it out. But really, it is pretty sweet and will out-fly anything in the world but an F-15 and an F-22.

To pile on -- if someone proposed cancelling the F-35 and buying a huge bag of F-18 F/G's for the Navy and F-15's with RCS updates for the Air Force, we would get about the same capability for less money.
(and no, I do not own any Boeing stock.)
But to simply tear down the Lightning II as it grows through its teething phase is pointless.

The only reason for dogfights is the ROE. One of the reasons that the Top Gun movie was so funny is that the F-14 was a missile platform designed for fleet defense. It carried six AIM-54 Phoenix missiles that could reach out to 120+ miles. In one of the tests, the F-14 simultaneously launched on six supersonic maneuvering aircraft at a range of 120 miles. It killed all six with the last one going down at 80 miles. The only reason for "dogfighting" was the requirement to "visually" ID the target before engaging. One of many problems caused by too many lawyers.

back in the Viet Nam war, the F4's were not initially fitted with anything but missles, thinking that machine guns and cannons were a thing of the past. After the soviet MIG's intercepted our Fathoms we had to go in and retro fit them with 20 mm gatling guns.

In the meantime, the Buffer is still flying, sometime 32 hour sorties without any gun:) I believe there are now 3 generations of Buffer crews from the same family.

This was apparently related to ROE's. It's pretty amazing that they were using ANG draftees as cannon fodder for this kind of nonsense. LBJ is easily one of the worst presidents we've had:
To compound the problem, rules of engagement in Vietnam precluded long-range missile attacks in most instances, as visual identification was normally required. Many pilots found themselves on the tail of an enemy aircraft but too close to fire short-range Falcons or Sidewinders.

Teachers' unions---a wonderful invention.
Teachers' unions staffed entirely with feminism conditioned females---who's been taught that girls' behavior should be "the normal" for boys. Teaching programs that emphasize "communication skills" at the expense of actual subjects to be communicated. Teachers who have no understanding of the subjects they teach. Parents who don't give a damn. Parents who don't give a damn when notified that their darling ignores homework, but fly into rage when he/she fails an exam.

Maybe if it wasn't "free" (i.e. they paid for it) they'd give a flying f.

I think BP means that they don't 'see' that they are paying for it. It appears free.
Personally I think the way to fix schools is to make people pay for it. Have it on a sliding scale if you wish but everyone should have to pay something into it so that they have some skin in the game.

To Combat Problem, CUNY Starts Low-Cost Immersion Remedial Program
Hello, CUNY, you are the problem. You are the ones who hand out 'certificates' in your College of Education to teachers and administrators who've delivered this to your own door step. You have met the enemy and it is you.
#16
No wonder the teachers are so against testing.
They should set up a standard that if more than 50% of your english class can't read the teacher is fired without pension as incompetant. Perhaps fined or worse for doing damage. Anything between 05% and 49% results in probation.
It really is one of the only jobs where total failure results in minimal to no repurcussions and the total failure can ruin lives.

Is there such a thing as a low-performing public school that is predominantly middle class or upper middle class?
I think not. "We have met the enemy, and he is us."
