Not the Great Escape

It must have seemed like a good idea at the time. . .

A man who bought a false passport to flee Russia got more than he bargained for after finding the paperwork belonged to a wanted murderer.

You hardly have to read the article to figure out how it all turned out.

ADDENDUM: And for some reason I coincidentally ran across this report of an identity thief in Connecticut, who unwittingly assumed the identity of a neighbor who turned out to be a convicted sex offender. . . .
