\_ I've had several friends have their identity forged and stolen. One lost a
\_ house (under construction). My advice would be to call your credit card
\_ vendors and all 3 credit bureaus EVERY OTHER DAY to make sure they didn't
\_ use your credit cards to open department store accounts and get other forms
\_ of ID. You bank may have further advice.

\_ Sorry that happened to you. Thieves suck.

There's also a 'Fraud Alert' you can put on your credit report if you
haven't done that already.  Not sure what that'll do for you, but it
seems promising.
