So I'm at work Tuesday night, get a call from my wife in a panic. She recieved 3 letters from the State of Vermont stating that her license was being suspended effective December 29th. The reason, operating without the owers consent-which carries an automatic 10 pts on your license! Now, we have 2 vehicles in our household and I can't remember the last time she or I drove another vehicle. Anyway, it was to late to get ahold of the DMV to find out exactly what was going on so she called a friend who is a Sheriff's deputy. He did some checking around and found out what the problem was.
Now keep in mind my wife is a 30 yr old white redhead with blue eyes and typical pale white skin of a redhead-you know the kind that doesn't tan only burns! Anyway, what happened was that a 22yr old black girl stole a car and totaled it (obviously without the owners consent). This also happened in a town that is about an hour and a half south of us.
So, after several frantic calls to the PD her friend had her just go directly to the DMV who couldn't do a thing, she had to call the main DMV in the state Capitol. Once she did they realized their mistake immediately and got it all corrected. The person who commited the crime had the same first name and same last name as my wife's maiden name with a different middle initial. Complete SNAFU by either the arresting officer or the clerk who prepared the court docs and suspension notice.
So I guess all is well that ends well, but it gave us a scare for a night or two!
