Are Identity Thieves Anti-SocialNot all thieves have antisocial behavior patterns. Today, thieves come in all forms. Antisocial Personality types are often violent, whereas thieves are not always violent or aggressive. In these modern times, identity thieves work in political offices, dental and doctor offices, at home, and so forth. Thieves are trickier to understand than most criminals, since most of them function in society under every ones noses and few ever detect behaviors or personalities that indicate the person is a thief until you found out too late. Certain types of thieves will dig through trashcans to steal information that opens the doors to additional information, while other thieves will violently take the information, extending to murder. Today thieves steal information by making use of their place of work, stealing information from company files, or else by backhanding other employees into giving them the information. The most common thief today are hackers, which are people that specialize into breaking into computer files by use of specially designed devices and programs, or strategies. The thieves will also use "skimming" modus operandi to steal information. Again, there are thieves that use "data storage devices" to enable them to 'swipe cards' of stolen credit card numbers. They may also use the device at ATM Machines to steal your information. I want to tell you about a case. It involved a setup where one thief could steal while another thief carried out another crime with yet other criminals followed in pursuit. In this incident, the woman visited a local tavern, and instead of taking her drink with her to the bathroom, she left it on the counter. When she came out of the bathroom, she took a swig of her duped drink. The woman was led outside of the tavern onto the sidewalks when a man swept past her, jerking the purse from her shoulder, nearly knocking her over. Still confused, the woman was led by another man to her own vehicle, where the perpetrator drove off with her intact in the passenger seat. When the woman woke up the next morning, she found herself seated in the crime of predators ready to rape her. With her wits intact, she managed to manipulate the perpetrator and escape calling her friend. When she called her friend, who in turn called the authorities, she found that the thief had already used up her debit card, and added additional charges, which lead to overdrafts. The authorities found that the rapist, thief, and others arrested in the case were all chained together and had probably committed this same crime in the past. From police files, we discovered that the perpetrators of the above were crack addicts. But thieves rarely have anything other than a criminal mind with the exception of few. |
