Woman whose identity was stolen catches the thief after a 45 minute foot pursuit!

It's a cool story. Victim is in Starbuck's. Had previously been in the bank to identify the woman in a surveillance photo that was allegedly her, said thief had an expensive coat. There, in the line in front of her, is the woman with the coat.

In the words of Moonlighting, "Cue the chase music!"

After finally being caught, the thief got a 44 day sentence that was counted as time served plus a suspended sentence. After six months of identity hell, the crook walked. Heinlein had it right: TANJ.

The police didn't even arrest the woman who stole my parent's ID and money.

Definitely TANJ.
