They probably can't do it unless an in-person appearance is made to
file a complaint of identity theft by the victim. I was informed by the
Sheriff's Office that had I not shown up IN PERSON at the Sheriff's
Office to file a report that they would not persue the identity theft
portion of this affair. I had to present two picture IDs in addition to
filing the report. This was inspite of faxing and mailing copies of the
ID to the PD as well as all pertinent information related to the
inident. They required an in person appearance to verify that yet
another party was not trying to commit fraud or ID theft. The bank
fraud case was persued because the bank filed a report and the theft of
checks/forgery was persued because the escrow company filed a report.
I'd be willing to wager that Michael will have to show up IN PERSON in
Omaha or where ever this event occurred to file reports in person. I
had to fly back from Honduras to take care of this. All of the expenses
were submitted in the event that she ever earns enough during her 10
year stint in prison to make restitution.
