    This is flat out ridiculous:

    Woods presented his real Social Security card and an authentic state of California ID card, but the assistant branch manager became suspicious when Woods could not answer security questions that Kierans had set for the bank accounts.

    The bank employee called the phone number listed on the accounts, which was Kierans’ number. At that point, Kierans correctly answered the security questions, and the assistant branch manager contacted the Los Angeles Police Department to investigate Woods.

    Total incompetence from start to finish. But, you know, he was homeless. What are the police supposed to do, care about poor people?
