Flood victim now fighting identity theft
ALSTEAD, N.H. The floods of October stole just about everything John Cochrane owned in Alstead (New Hampshire). Now someone has stolen his identity.
Cochrane says someone used his name to get credit cards from department stores and jewelry stores and has been running up bills out of state.
Cochrane's home was washed away in the flood. He figures someone downstream found his identification information in flood debris.

If Mr.Cochran's assumption that his information was washed downstream and picked up by someone is correct, well these individuals have no conscious. During a time when people should be helping each other, stealing should really be the last thing on your mind.
