About 10 months ago I lost my ID (not Drivers License, just ID) card. I was naive and stupid, I didn't report it in any way. The other day I applied for another ID and in doing so reported it 'lost.'
Just today, I received an odd envelop from the Postal Office, with a letter enclosed, stating that they 'Found it my id outside the Post Office in San Fransisco.' My old ID, the one i haven't seen in 10 months.
I didn't lose it in SF, I know where i lost it, it was very far from SF.
It seemed odd to me that I got my ID card back almost immediately after I reported it lost. I came to the following possibilities:
1) The PO had it somewhere and when it was reported lost they sent it to me.
2) Somebody has been using it, and when it went expired, they thought they may be cruel and unusual and let me know that I was being screwed.
Is it possible for somebody to steal my identity with just an ID? My credit has went up ALOT in the past 10 months, could this be an indicator?
