I collect Lu’s gig posters, and therefore have a saved search on eBay for all items mentioning her name. Check this out:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=230201323323&ssPageName=ADME:B:SS:US:1123With ID theft running rampant, I think this is NOT GOOD. Maybe someone reading this who speaks to Lu (Inside Job?) can give her a heads up that this is on eBay… 😉

December 10, 2007 at 2:57 pm #35175rachel8375ParticipantYeah, its illegal. Someone should contact eBay so they can shut the auction down. Legally, the finder needs to get the driver’s license back to Lucinda.
December 10, 2007 at 7:13 pm #35176stellablueeeParticipantguess brandon wasn’t able to get hold of her and maybe he knew he’d get to her by posting it on ebay???? yikes…..poor lu

lucinda ate at the restaurant i work at last night..i found her wallet on the floor and gave it to my manager..later i found her tennessee driver’s license on the floor also..i was busy so i put it in my pocket and forgot about it..i know she lives here in l.a. but have no idea where, have no address and no telephone number so there’s little chance i can return it to her unless i run into her again which is highly unlikely..would somebody like to purchase this lovely keepsake from me?December 10, 2007 at 8:06 pm #35177rachel8375ParticipantYeah, that’s kinda skeevy. All he’d need to do is find an address for her management company on this website, if he’d had any INTENTION of returning it to her. One good thing, though, is that it sounds to be an out-of-date DL from Tenn, rather than the one she’d be in need of in California. Tells you something about her, though–she must not clean out her wallet too often. 😆
December 11, 2007 at 12:00 am #35178AnonymousInactiveThis is a little strange, isn’t it? If the finder gave Lucinda’s wallet to his manager, why didn’t he do the same when he found the license?
I doubt the restaurant would be happy to know they have an employee who finds a customers lost driver’s license and tries to sell it.
December 11, 2007 at 12:22 am #35179rachel8375ParticipantAgreed. It would make sense for the guy to give the license to the manager, too.
December 11, 2007 at 2:43 am #35180AnonymousInactiveI contacted Ebay. I have bought my fair share of items from there. Hopefully, they will shut this down. I will let you know if I find out anything. I don’t think they would allow this if they knew the true intention behind the transaction. I told them the situation.
December 11, 2007 at 4:04 am #35181AnonymousInactiveGood work StraightOn.
I wonder if the wallet story is just a cover for this dude getting her license?
December 11, 2007 at 9:25 am #35182brandon71075Participantits ok..i already gave it back to my manager so she got it back.. everything’s cool..thanks!
December 11, 2007 at 3:24 pm #35183AnonymousInactiveWay to go Brandon – thought we were going to have to get rough with you for a minute
December 11, 2007 at 3:38 pm #35184rachel8375ParticipantGlad you did the right thing, Brandon. 🙂
December 12, 2007 at 2:16 pm #35185AnonymousInactiveDon’t fool yourself. He definitely had his For Sale sign up. It only abruptly came down when he got called on it. “Coincidence”? I don’t think so. To a large extent, there is usually some type of logical explanation. The good news is, there’s always an audit trail. See, accounting can be fun.
I hope she really got her license back.
December 12, 2007 at 3:17 pm #35186rachel8375ParticipantI’m not sure what good a 7-year old license from Tennessee will do her. Maybe I’m naive, but could someone bent on identity theft have done something with that?

Depends. I don’t know about Tennessee, but here in Georgia, they actually used your Social Security number as your driver’s license number for many years. They stopped the practice a few years ago due to ID theft concerns.
Regardless, I know I wouldn’t want an old driver’s license of mine in someone else’s hands…

December 12, 2007 at 9:08 pm #35188rachel8375ParticipantIn Alabama, they will use the SS number unless you tell them differently. I don’t know what the practice is in Tennessee, though. I agree that trying to sell her old driver’s license was the wrong thing to do. Sad thing is that someone would have bought it. I mean, I love Lucinda, but I don’t think I’d care to have her driver’s license. 🙂 (I’m sure she looked fantastic in the photo, unlike most of us, who end up looking like we’d just spent the last 3 days on a meth binge…or maybe I always look like that….)
