Identity Theft Is Epidemic. Can It Be Stopped?
By TIMOTHY L. O'BRIEN
AUSING in the foyer of a comfortable suburban home two days before Halloween in 2002, Kevin
Barrows, a special agent with the F.B.I., could not bring himself to open the front door. He and a
team of agents had just spent several hours searching every room in the house, in New Rochelle, N.Y.,
but they were leaving empty-handed. Months of investigating had led Mr. Barrows to believe that
someone was orchestrating a huge fraud from the house, yet he had not found a single scrap of evidence.

"Where are the balls,?" I asked.
A stony silence followed, my host clearly having trouble with the question. He stared at the open
mahogany box, brow heavily furrowed, shaking his head in consternation. Finally, and reluctantly, he
stammered, "Oh, I'll bet they've put them in storage. We're building a new wing, you know, and some of
the exhibits are being rearranged. They're probably in storage," he repeated. I knew something was
terribly wrong.
