	Do you know who's got your number?
	Court summons is first time young woman learns thief has been using her identity. By Tommi Halvorsen Gatlin Vidette Reporter Chandra Toy was only 18 last February when a thief snatched her wallet - and her identity. But though the Aberdeen teen says she lost no credit cards, the effects of her driver's license and Social Security card having been stolen have been staggering, nonetheless, for the young woman who turned 19 in July. In April, Toy was shocked to receive a summons to Hoquiam Municipal Court on a charge of third-degree theft. She had reportedly been arrested for shoplifting at the Hoquiam Swanson's store. In July, she received another summons, this one to Grays Harbor Superior Court, which alleged she had driven recklessly to elude a police officer June 23 near downtown Montesano...
