Idaho Intellectual
Property
Theft:
- The act or an instance of stealing; larceny.
Note: To constitute theft there must be a taking without the owner's consent,
and it must be unlawful or felonious; every part of the property stolen must be
removed, however slightly, from its former position; and it must be, at least
momentarily, in the complete possession of the thief.
Did You Know?
Identity theft is one of the fastest growing
crimes in the nation, accounting for 43 percent of all complaints received by
the Federal Trade Commission in 2002. The FTC also reported that it received
161,800 complaints of identity theft–up 88 percent from 86,200 the year before.
Many believe that this is just a small fraction of the total number of victims.
In 2002, Star Systems conducted a telephone survey that they believe indicates
that as many as one in 20 adults, or 11.8 million Americans, have been victims
of identity theft.
According to a May 2000 survey by CalPIRG and the Privacy
Rights Clearinghouse, the average consumer victim spends 175 hours and $800
resolving identity theft problems, and it takes two to four years for victims to
clear up all the resulting problems. The sooner you take action to clear your
records, the better. That's why it's important to order your credit reports
regularly, at least once a year.
The information offered here is intended to help
consumers take steps to reduce their risk of becoming victims of identity theft
and to help victims take the actions necessary to resolve problems and recover
their good names.
