Woman found with 1,000 identities charged with 62 felonies

Posted on October 12, 2013 by Dissent

I was reading a news story about a criminal case involving ID theft, where many of the documents with personal information may have been obtained from car burglaries, when I came across this:

Police discovered about 1,000 identities along with forged documents at the two locations, prosecutors said.

“Chaplin had such a large amount of personal information of others(sic) persons that it would (be virtually) impossible to contact each and every victim, as some are no longer living and other (sic) cannot be located using investigative tools,” according to her four-page arrest report.

So that’s it? They won’t continue to try to contact everyone whose information was stolen and possibly misused? Does the IRS give up if people owe the government money? Is it acceptable for law enforcement to just say, sorry, this is too hard…?

This is no way to treat victims.
