Little Theives!

I was slipping my rent check into the door of my apartment's office building and something caught my eye. I did a double take and thought, "That can't be." Some moron slipped their rent check in without putting the check into an envelope. The check was face up revealing all the information that a check contains. I couldn't beleive it. Do you know what a person can do with that information? I'll tell ya.

In 1999 I had lost my day planner that contained everything about me, including my Social Security number and checkbook. These little theives went to Nordstrom and wrote out a $500 check with my expired driver's license. Of course I was smart enough to call my bank and report everything stolen and when they called me to tell me that someone had written the check I was furious. Not only did Nordstrom accept my expired driver's license but the asshole who wrote the check spelled my name wrong. Hint: Most of you know that Bella is not my real name.

The irony of it all is that the police obtained the video tape of who wrote the check but were unable to identify this person. Read on, it gets better.

I called up the Nordstrom that took my check and asked how their employees could be so stupid as to write down an expired license and not notice that the signature was mispelled. Their response - "The employees really don't pay attention to that." I then asked - "Then what's the purpose of taking down the information if no one pays attention to it?" Their response - "Just in case the check bounces, we know how to locate you."

Oh, I get it. So, just incase some butthole decides to steal my identity and buy stuff with my checkbook, you can call me up and tell me that I am responsible for your employees failure to see that not only was the license expired and the signature mispelled but that the jerk who committed the fraud was a FUCKING ASIAN MALE!

Considering the driver's license depicted a female with BLONDE hair should have been easily caught.

But, they don't pay attention to that.

Needless to say, I haven't shopped at Nordstrom since.
