Identity Theft on Staten Island?

Today I read an article about the search for a woman in identity theft. This article talked about how the police have been looking for a woman who is involved in identity theft.Police have been asking the public to help find the woman who stole a Staten Islanders identity. A woman stole the islanders identity and then went on to use it to withdraw a great amount of money from a bank in Queens.

I believe that identity theft has become a big problem in todays society. Every day we hear a story of someone who had their identity stolen or someone who was a victim of fraud. The only way to correct this problem is to set new rules in for stores to accept credit cards or etc. For example, it may be a good idea for cashiers to start checking more than one form of id. This would make it more difficult for identity theft to occur.
