<p>Ok, so I saw that someone else already has a post with almost the exact same situation, but I have slightly different questions...</p>
<p>First, please don't tell me that I'm stupid and careless and *** was I thinking.. I'm already freaking out and feel like the stupidest person on the planet, so I don't need to hear it anymore. I just want advice and stories from your experiences.</p>
<p>So basically, I was visitng my friends at UCSB over the weekend. I had a fake ID which has never been questioned so I figured of all places the UCSB college town would be no different. WRONG! I went into the albertsons and after 2 seconds of looking at my ID, the cashier told me it was fake (I still have no idea how he could tell). He called his manager over, but I denied that it was fake. He wouldn't give it back and said the only way to get it back was to have the cops come and determine that it is real and then give it back, and of course I didn't want that, so I left. </p>
<p>After talking to a lot of people, they have all said that they have heard of tons of people that had their fakes taken there and nothing ever came of it. However, I have heard of one instance where the girl was contacted like 8 months later about a court date, but she lived in SB and went to UCSB.</p>
<p>So I guess here is my question. The cops didn't come while I was there, so first, they really have no proof that it was me that used the fake. I could have lost my ID in SB and someone else could have tried to use it, right? haha Second, I'm a little nervous because it has my real information on it (Some people say thats stupid, but at least this way I can't get charged with identity theft or anything). Since I am from orange county and don't even go to UCSB, I'm thinking my chances of anything coming from this are slim. I just want to know if this has happened to anyone else who did or didn't live in SB and what the situation was?</p>
<p>Everyone keeps telling me that the chances of the albertsons turning in my ID are slim, and even if they do, cops have better things to do than track down every person who has used a fake ID. Even though my real info is on it, I'm thinking that since they didnt come to the scene, they don't really know if I used it or someone else did, and even if they think it was me, I'm far away from SB and they'd have to track me and deal with cops and **** down here, so I feel like thats not worth their time.</p>
<p>What do yall think? Am I screwed? How long do they have to actually do something about it? I heard a year. I'm just so freaking scared. I'm usually such a goody two-shoes and of course the one time I actually do something bad, I get caught. I really don't know what to do or expect.... I was even thinking of calling the albertsons to cry and apologize. hahahahaha </p>
<p>PLEASE let me know if you have any stories/advice/same situations or anything!!!!</p>
