Kolek planning to go pro
An historic city that was the epicenter of a lot of good.
My stepdaughter and her friend were mugged in a residential area in Oakland about two weeks ago by kids-3 boys and a girl. They knocked down the women and kicked my stepdaughter repeatedly. My guess is that some of these kids were the attackers. The neighborhood was nice, and the women decided to take a walk after lunch at a restaurant, thinking they were in a safe area.Glad to hear the kids were arrested. It is one thing to have your money, credit cards and IDs stolen, but the beating up of the victims is the worst part of it not only due to the injuries and pain but often more importantly because of the long term, often permanent, psychological damage from the attack. My stepdaughter's friend escaped most of the physical assault but was leaving for Europe in 2-3 days and had to scurry to secure new IDs and credit cards. My stepdaughter said she has a fictitious address on her driver's license. This prevents the muggers from showing up at your home for which they may have keys.
Losing 3 pro sports teams isn't particularly good.
Having a fake address on your idea is very much illegal. And I’ve never heard of anyone getting a new ID and/or credit card within 2-3 days.Hopefully your stepdaughter is okay.
I'm well aware that having a fake address is illegal. And I think it proved to be a very good idea (see 21 Jumpstreet's post). Not sure if the friend was able to get at least a credit card quickly. Probably did not get the driver's license issue resolved, but I would think both issues -ID + credit card-come up often enough due to robbery that there may be some systems in place to fast track the replacements.Interersting the order in which you wrote your post.
Can she put a PO Box or UPS Store address on her Driver's License or ID? I'm glad she's okay Scoop Snoop.
Only criminals use fake addresses. Sounds like she’s sketchy. Is she a dentist by any chance?
Not a PO box for sure. When people move, they may not bother to update their street address until the license is due for renewal. For years, hospitals and other entities demanded that you list your ss# on their forms. I always refused. The risks to your credit rating ruined and having your identity stolen is immense. When a phone # is in the "required" field online, mine is something like 123 456 7890. I do not give a rat's ass that a phony address on a driver's license is illegal. I doubt that anyone has ever been sentenced for that offense. Imagine yourself after having been mugged, losing your license along with keys for your home and vehicle, and returning home knowing that the muggers have all they need to rob your home and steal your vehicle.
