Ok, I'm not trying to "out-do" DigitalAngel, but I was just about to dig up the "Roommate horror stories" thread to post my story when I came across *this* thread. It seems to fit better here.
You will NOT believe what happend to my (biological) sister.
For 5 years I rented a house while I went to college. There were 3 bedrooms; and thus I had two roommates. One of them happend to be my sister and the other changed every so often. Most recently, our friend of 10 years moved in as the third roommate. It was all good. Then I had to move out so that I could go to England to get my Master's degree. So, my sister "Tina" and our friend "Diane" had to find someone to replace me.
They put an ad in the paper or something in November and ended up selecting someone they thought was cool and responsible; we'll call her "Stacy". Stacy was cool at first but then things started going missing. It turned out that Stacy a hard drug user (crystal meth) who is a con artist *and* has an obesessive-complusive disorder.
At the beginning of December she started stealing belongings from my sister and the other flatmate. Somehow she got Diane's mother's personal bank information and made fraudulent bank transfers to her own account to the tune of $620. She used my sister's name to illegally apply for multiple unemployment benefits. She racked up tens of thousands of dollars in online purchases etc. Stacy also doesn't pay rent.
Then Stacy "borrowed" my sister's car for one hour (with her permission...for ONE HOUR) and disappeared for over 12 hours (overnight). Since she was presumed gone, they went into Stacy's room the next morning to see if they could find their stolen property. They did - a closet full of their clothes, furniture, shoes, bath soaps....you name it.
All of a sudden, Stacy comes home and finds out that she's been caught. Diane immediately leaves and goe to her brother's house. Stacy then calls the police and has my sister arrested for burglary. I don't get how you can be arrested for burglary in your own house. This is especially dumb since my sister and Diane were the only two people on the renatl agreement. Stacy isn't even on the lease!!! The police are currently conducting an investigation into why the responding officers falsely arrested my sister. Apparently Stacy's a real sweet-talker and talked the police into hauling my sister away. Diane didn't get arrested because she had left, I guess. During this fisaco, Stacy managed to get all three sets of house keys AND still had the keys to my sister's car (a 2000 VW Jetta).
Anyway, my sister was in jail for four days, including Christmas day. I was very upset because I had no way of getting her out. While she was in jail, Stacy locked everyone out of the house and refused to come out. Also, my dad and Diane's parent's noted that my sister's car was parked in a different place each day - that is to say that Stacy drove my sister's car while she was in jail. They took pictures everytime the car was moved.
On Christmas Eve the charges were completely dropped against my sister. The judge said the arrest was nonsense and that she should have never been arrested to start with. She was released the next day (which was Christmas Day).
When my sister, Diane and Diane's parents went back to the house, all heck broke loose with Stacy who refused to even let the police in. Though, they finally forced her to open the door. That's when they found all the damage. Stacy and her friends vandalised the interiors by spraypainting the walls and stole everything that wasn't nailed down, including the Christmas presents and *my sister's cat*. She tried telling the police that she was going to paint over the valdalism and that is ok because "I live here". The police officer questioned her about being on the lease; and, when she couldn't back herself up on it, he put her in her place about the spraypaint. When asked about the car keys, Stacy claimed that she "didn't know where the key were". To date, Stacy has my sister's car keys. Though, my sister is using the spare set - it will cost her $400 to have the locks replaced.
Well the landlord forced Stacy out and she's now gone.
But, she's still causing damage.
We've since found out that she's damaged my sister's computer. She's been buying lots of computer equipment online. She stole my sister's state ID card, her old driver's license and my sister's PASSPORT (whoops, federal offence there). She also stole my sister's checks. Now, she's gone on a spending spree of about $4,000 of which my sister's checking account is $2,300 overdrawn. $1,600 of that was at Office Depot (another laptop computer I presume). She opend up a credit card account in my sister's name.
A Nordstrom's package arrived to the house with someone else's name on it. They did some investigating and found ot that Stacy stole some lady's credit card number and was making online purchases.
Additionally, my sister and Diane found credit card applications which were sent to me (Navane) offering me credit for my business (I own a small-business). They weren't filled out, but the mail was opened by Stacy. This may be an indication that she has, or was considering, committing fraudulent credit card transactions in my name and thinking that I wouldn't notice if I was in England. I now have to call up the three credit companies (Experian...etc) to put a fraud alert on my name and my company's name.
Unfortunately, they couldn't have Stacy arrested for some stupid reason. They only suggested that she be taken to court. Yeah, ok, right, let's see: ~ $8,000 worth of money and property stolen, vandalism, indentity theft, check fraud, credit fraud, bank fraud, drug use, and a federal passport offence and oh no...they can't arrest her.
Anyway...this has all happened in about a 5-week time frame. See how much damage can be done?
Oh well, we're compiling a mountain of evidence against this girl. Hopefully a warrant for her arrest will be issued soon enough.
Digital Angel126, Steeltrap, SSS1365....I feel for you all and anyone else who has had to deal with bad roommates and identity theft.
