We’re all afraid of Identity Theft. Beyond the financial hardship it can cause, when someone else runs around with your credit card YOU wind up sentenced to months and months of constant phone trees and customer service reps as you try to untangle the mess left behind. Just stealing from someone is bad enough, but condemning them to a year of phone-tree hard labor is downright inhuman.
So when cases like Christina Foos’ cross the GoodNews desk, we can’t help but cheer a little bit. The 35-year-old admits she lifted credit cards from the Sherwood City Hall and went on a shopping spree. Then, she hightailed it to Arizona (a violation of her parole for previous crimes).
But running from the law doesn’t always work. Cops stayed on her trail, tracking her down and hauling her back to Washington County where she pled guilty to multiple counts. Hopefully her victims will have sorted through their credit hiccups by the time she’s released in three years.
