84 years old and legally blind...he bought a 2008 Dodge Avenger

[cynatnite]

Unfortunately, he'll never drive it. We have no idea who is driving it. Someone somehow got a hold of his information and used it to buy a car. My grandpa does not use the internet and he shreds just about everything after my mom sorts through it.

We think they either went through the trash or got to his mail at some point.

1. Oh man. Poor fellow. Are you going to help him?

[cynatnite]

2. Tomorrow we'll contact Chrysler and probably a lawyer...

It pisses me off that anyone would do this to my grandfather. Hopefully, they'll be able to track down who did this.

5. Have the police been notified?

Is identify theft a federal crime? Could the Feds get involved?

3. Vengeance clearly is required.

4. Oh, God -- I'm so sorry!

Notify the local news media -- they love stuff like this.

6. I'm sorry, but that is one butt-ass ugly car.

I hope he is NEVER seen driving it. It would ruin his good name.

7. Why didn't he buy a hybrid??? Sorry, I don't care how old he is, he's part of the problem!@!1

Oh...sorry.

Seriously, this is disgusting. I can relate, somebody bought $5K of clothes in the far east on my card number, then returned them all for cash. What a world.

8. Chrysler Corp knows! nt
