One of the best stories of the month (snicker):
Last week, a waitress at the Moosehead Saloon in Westlake, Ohio, asked a woman to show proof of age after the customer ordered a drink. When the waitress looked at the ID, she realized the customer's ID was actually her own license, police said.
The waitress, a 22-year-old Lakewood, Ohio, woman, had reported her wallet stolen from a bar on July 9. Her driver's license and credit card were in the wallet. he credit card had already been used for $1,000 in illicit purchases, police said.

Reminds me of a story about my brother-in-law. As part of their initiation, pledges in his University of Michigan fraternity had to go on a scavenger hunt. One of the items they had to procure: a pair of bowling shoes. The shoes they brought in turned out to be his size, so he kept them. A couple of years later, he went bowling with his cousins in a Detroit suburb far away from Ann Arbor, finished, then started to walk out. An employee stopped him and accused him of trying to steal the shoes. "They're mine," my brother-in-law said, "I've had them for years." The employee turned them over and pointed to the bowling alley's name that was stamped across the bottom. I'm not sure how the story ended up, but my brother-in-law didn't get any jail time.
