I was a victim of ID theft, and the only person the banks investigated was me, once they determined that I was not stealing my own identity they were done with the investigation. nobody cared about the address, or phone numbers, or any other clues that would lead to the thief, not even the police! its a wonder how anybody gets caught for this crime!
