'Thief' unwittingly produces stolen driving licence as proof of ID to the owner
Published: 2013 March 07 08:20:02 (3104 Views)
Brianna Priddy, a waitress in Colorado, US was presented with a driving licence, which had been stolen on a night out with friends weeks earlier, when a customer ordered drinks.
The quick-thinking waitress remained calm and took the woman’s order before calling police.
She told KUSA-TV: ‘Four people come in, walk in, sit down. They start ordering drinks. This girl hands me my ID as a fake ID.
‘I handed it back to her and said, “Sure I’ll be right back with your margarita.” I put on my server smile and tried to take care of them, but I was shaking like crazy.’
The encounter marked the end of a run of bad luck for Ms Priddy after her credit cards were stolen and used to write hundreds of dollars of bad cheques.
In an added twist, the suspect was aged 26 – old enough to buy a drink with her own identification.
Police spokesman Steve Davis said it was one of the most bizarre cases he has come across in more than 30 years of service.
‘Dumb criminal! That’s the first word that comes to mind,’ he said.
Police are not releasing the suspect’s name because the case is still under investigation.
She faces identity theft and criminal impersonation charges and was found with drugs in her possession, police said.
