Involuntary Tax Assistance

From the Minneapolis Star-Tribune crime report via buzz.mn...... Something isn't right about this, but I'm having a hard time figuring out a plausible alternative scenario.

“Theft. A woman called police to report a theft occurred a year ago at Village Pub, 2720 Hwy. 88. She said her purse was stolen and it contained money, her driver's license, Social Security card and debit card. She immediately canceled her debit card but did not report the theft at the time. She was advised when she went to file her taxes this year, that someone had already filed a return in her name.”'
