36-year driver's licence mixup upending Ottawa man's life

There is another "me", who used to live down the road. We had the same name, even the same middle initial- and also the same zip code. I found out about him, when I had back surgery- we had the same surgeon. And we used the same pharmacy. He must have moved, because the pharmacy doesn't get us confused anymore. When I lost my wallet with my driver's license, it was a lot of grief proving, who I was. I can image what this Canadian guy is going through.
 

My parents converted a garage into a cottage on their property when I was a kid.

One of the renters had the same first and last name as my dad, different middle initial.

The addresses were like 2410 and 2412 Blah Street.

All hell broke loose one day when the Feds showed up with a search warrant for the cottage. He had robbed a bank and skipped town.

The newspaper was ablaze for a few days about a bank robber with my dad's name and almost my dad's address.
