ok, so in the last year and a half, i've manged to be irresponsible enough to lose my wallet/id not once, but twice. yes, maybe a trip to the bar with my friends was involved. and maybe i just left it in the back of a cab once. either way, my old roommate sent me a link to this story. i mean, i should feel some sort of consolation that i'm helping some underage girl drink in bars. i mean, just cause she's 19 doesn't mean she should go out with her other college friends, right? remember, i was irresponsible enough to lose my wallet twice, why would i have a problem with underage drinking?

i just hope that whoever she is, she isn't stealing my identity altogether. not that it would get her anywhere.

Waitress checks customer's ID, discovers self

WESTLAKE, Ohio (AP) -- A bar waitress checking to see if a customer was legally old enough to drink looked down to see a familiar photo.

It was her own.

The 22-year-old waitress, whose name was not released, called police last week and said she had been handed her own stolen driver's license by a woman trying to prove she was 21.
The woman, who became suspicious of the delay as the waitress went to call police, fled the Moosehead Saloon, but her companion provided her name.

Maria Bergan, 23, of Lakewood, was charged Sunday night with identity theft and receiving stolen property. She was arrested at her home in suburban Cleveland.

The waitress said she had lost her wallet July 9 at a bar in Lakewood.

"The odds of this waitress recovering her own license defy calculation," police Capt. Guy Turner said Monday.
