Re: It's NOT "identity theft"
"You can't really steal someone's identity anyway, since a person doesn't cease to have an identity when a criminal impersonates them. They are still the same person."
Not really. Name changes and all that. Your identity can indeedy-doody be usurped, against your will, by a well-heeled miscreant, leaving you with little recourse to get it back OR establish a new one. Try telling what you just said to a victim of such identity theft, especially one with no close ties or family.
