> > Wow, Ohio!!! A couple friends of mine just moved to Cleveland, and I'll probably never see either of them again!! Even more, there's a guy in Ohio with nearly the same name as my own, who has successfully used my social security number on numerous occasions and consequently screwed up my credit more times than I care to count!!! Yay, Ohio!!!

I ended up getting a nasty letter from the BMV informing me my driver's license was going to be suspended and possibly revoked because I hadn't showed up for my court date! I got it all straightened out in the end, though. I had never even been to Toledo before!

A similar thing happened to a friend of mine, only the mix-up happened because a California Highway Patrol officer switched two numbers in a driver's license number when he was writing a ticket. My friend was quite surprised to get a notice to appear in court--nine hours away. The interesting thing was that both my friend and the real law-breaker had similar names, ages, physical descriptions, and nationalities.
