Current events, shaken not stirred

I was in a park that looked a lot like the gold discovery site in Coloma, Calif. The softball team that I coach was there, and they were annoying me quite a bit by making immature jokes. We were waiting for someone to come pick us up and take us to the airport (presumably we'd just finished playing in a tournament).

An airport employee came up to me then (not sure why an airport employee was at the park instead of being at the airport) and handed me a credit card bill, as if she was delivering a telegram. I tore open the envelope and balked as I saw that there was a charge for $108,000.00 dollars. Immediately, I freak out, wondering where in the world this charge came from. A light bulb went on in my head then, and I realized that someone must have stolen my identity.

I remembered that there had been a person standing uncomfortably close to me in line at Safeway the day before, and figured that they had snapped a photo of my credit card as I was holding it, waiting to pay for my food.

I reported it to LifeLock and breathed a sigh of relief because I knew that LifeLock would set everything straight.
