From Bob Schulties, your About Today Editor
I always thought that if you stole someone's identity, you'd end up looking like them, so I swiped George Clooney's wallet. Then, for a drama, I leapt in front of the mirror. I must have been on the wrong channel.

How Identity Theft Happens
I hope that if my identity is taken, it's from some government using a high-tech super spy. Otherwise, I'll be so embarrassed knowing some dude had to rifle through the Twinkie wrappers to find out how much I owe on my credit cards. How they get your identity.

The Types of Identity Theft
Huh. I figured there was one type and that was that. There's such a thing as child identity theft? Gives a new spin on "the dog ate my homework" excuse, right? How many types of ID theft are there?

What is Your Risk of Identity Theft?
I assume that because I'm just a regular guy, no one would be interested in stealing my identity. I hope this cape and lightsaber give them second thoughts. You know, the lightsaber won't really help.

How to Report ID Theft
If you find out your ID has been taken, I do not recommend buying a boat and then reporting the theft. Anyway, SS Awesome is leaving the dock, so I'll catch y'all later. Reporting tips...
