An Applebee’s waitress got the shock of her life when she asked a customer for her ID and was handed over her own stolen driver’s license.
Brianna Priddy, from Colorado, never expected to see her stolen driver’s license again after her wallet had been stolen weeks before.
She certainly did not expect to see it handed to her at her place of work.
Victim: Brianna Priddy, from Colorado, never expected to see her stolen driver’s license again after her wallet had been stolen weeks before
Talking to KUSA about the moment she was given her own ID, she said: ‘Four people come in, walk in, sit down. They start ordering drinks. This girl hands me my ID as a fake ID!’
The customer turned out to be the person who stole it in the first place on a night out.
Brianna has had nothing but trouble since she had her wallet stolen – with money, credit cards, check book and her license inside.
Since then, someone had been handing out bad checks all over town.
Talking to KUSA about the moment she was given her own ID, she said: ‘Four people come in, walk in, sit down. They start ordering drinks. This girl hands me my ID as a fake ID.
‘I didn’t say anything. I handed it back to her and said sure I’ll be right back with your margarita. [I] went straight to the phone, called the cops.’
While she was waiting for the police to arrive, she kept the table busy with their drinks and appetizers while trying not to react.
‘I don’t know how I kept it cool,’ she told Fox 31. ‘I was shaking, I wanted to jump across the table and go at her!’
When the officers arrived and arrested the woman, they found that - bizarrely – she didn’t even need the ID as she is 26-years-old.
She was charged with theft, identity theft, and criminal impersonation for this incident but further charges are expected to be added after police found narcotics on her possession.
Police spokesman Steve Davis called the incident a ‘shot in a million’ and said the suspect was a ‘dumb criminal’ who is ‘in quite a bit of hot water’.
Priddy said: ‘I am the .0000001 per cent that that happens to.’
Police said it was one of the most bizarre coincidences they have ever seen.
