To Catch A Thief

Over at SFGate there’s a fascinating story about a woman who had her identity stolen, but by chance of fate wound up in line with the very thief who perpetrated the crime in the first place.
Karen Lodrick, a meager 5′2″ 110lbs 41 year old consultant found herself face to face with the deviant, a 5′10″ 150lbs woman named Maria Nelson while standing in line for her morning latte at a Starbucks.
Karen had been called into town by a bank claiming she had left her drivers license there; a branch which she had never been to. While waiting for the bank to open, Lodrick stopped at the Starbucks nearby and noticed a burly woman wearing a familiar coat standing in line behind her.
The coat she recognized off of a security tape that her bank showed her of the person who stole her identity six months ago.
What follows is a tale of bravery and good luck that started with a foot pursuit through the city, and ended up with the criminal hiding behind a car in a parking garage to be discovered by the local police. The only downside to the story is the fact that the woman only received a few days in jail and probation, which she was already on for previous crimes.
