A good reason to own a shredder...

I woke up this morning to a telephone call from U.S. Bank. Apparently some asshat named "Jason Peel" got hold of my checking account number and proceeded to forge and cash two checks, effectively cleaning out my bank account. He stole all my money.

I think things will be okay--but man, what a hassle.

Oh man, that rots.

(I tend to do all my transactions in gold bars or saffron, myself, for just that reason.)

Dude. Been there. Some fuck set up a phone account in my name then didn't pay up. Phone company came looking for me. What a drag.

Someone tried to charge $2500 on one of my credit cards a couple weeks ago. Didn't go through, whew.

Tony: Ow. Stolen mail, stolen identity. That sucks. Hopefully you will get everything back eventually. Still it's a hassle.

Thanks, All, for the comisseration.

It looks like I'll have to change the address (mine and that of _The Canary_ ) again.

Stay tuned.
