I figured that someone would steal his identification.
However, I also figured that he wouldn't be stupid enough to leave the number up there after it happened once or twice.
13 times is pushing it.

When you consider the amount of people that were convinced because of him being so bold, compared against the small debts, it probably still worked in his favor.

Well at least the people stealing his ID are being nice about it. Only 1 collection required of above a grand. What are those people buying, just a pair of jeans?

Identity thieves tend to take many small transactions from many bank accounts, so the victims dont notice it in their statements.

This could be one of those times that "Any press is good press" doesn't work out so much. On the other hand, it's surprising no one opened a ton of porn accounts in his name for shits and giggles.

On top of that, If they make one huge withdraw the bank itself might get involved right away and they just risk getting caught a lot more if they do huge transactions.

That's JUST like Clarkson to do something like that. I'm amazed he wasn't made fun of in Top Gear.
