So not Law & Order...

About 2 weeks ago I mailed out some of Addie's 8 month pictures, one being to my mom's friend who I call "Aunt" C. I thought it'd be cute to put Addie on the return address and sent it addressed to "Aunt C"...

Well about 2 days after I sent them I saw this lady drive slowly by then turn around and park in front of my house. She comes up to the door so when I answered she asked for Addie. Confused I told her that it was my daughter and she was asleep. She started questioning me and asked how to get in touch with Aunt C.'s mom. She said she was from Medicare and congress had passed a bill stating they people on it had to fill out this survey and she was trying to get in touch with C's mom but that she wouldn't come to the door.

Aunt C. was living with her mom so that is where I sent the mail. I started getting suspicious... I have NEVER even talked with C's mom, so I knew she was lying when she said they had me down as next of kin. Well I called the lady out on it and said "you must have gone through her mail, otherwise you would have no way to find me, etc". And the lady denied denied denied but hurried and left. I remembered the name on her badge and called Aunt C. at work and told her what happened. I knew it was a federal offense to go through someone's mail! I tried to get the lady's tag number but she drove off too fast and my pathetic mommy brain couldn't get it all.

Well today I get a call from the Huntsville Police Dept. asking if they can meet with me to show me some pictures. I had Addie in the sink, I was in my Pjs with no makeup, hair up, etc. but he said he really needed to then, so he arrived a few minutes later. He showed me 6 grainy pictures of women that all looked exactly the same and asked me to pick out the woman that showed up at my door, so I did my best, but definitely wasn't sure. He asked me if her nametag said anything other than her name but I couldn't quite remember, and that was it. He said she definitely didn't work for Medicaid and that she was probably trying to steal C's mom's identity... He told me to not answer my door and call the police if she shows up again and then he left.... that was it. It was totally not like Law & Order or the other tv shows you see...

I don't know, but I think that woman was going to drastic measures if she was only trying to steal C's mom's identity...
