Identity theft is scary, it's never happened to me, but all those commercials about protecting your identity can't be wrong. Which is why it was such a shock when Gregory Goode had his identity stolen. I'm not going to wow you with any fantastical stories about what happened, it wasn't like that. Instead it was as you'd imagine it: a lot of fraudulent purchases and accounts set up in his name in shady areas. The thief wasn't hunted down Taken style or anything like that, things rarely happen like that, though what did happen was no less of a fantastical story fit for Hollywood.

We open on Gregory Goode's apartment in Anchorage: cloud cover is rolling in the distance. A tranquil site. Zoom in the window to see Gregory on the phone, credit card in his hand. He is currently on the phone with his credit card company disputing several charges that weren't made by him. The person on the other end of the line is helpful, hopefully in a couple of days this will all get sorted out.
