names have been changed to protect the innocent

A friend of mine writes:

"As some of you know I lost my drivers license on a recent trip. It was found and mailed back to my mom's house. This is the note she sent me with my returned license. Unfortunately I don't have a scanner so you can all see it in its original hand written glory.

'[daughter's name],
Here you go-
You need to report a missing license right away - I've seen it on law and order all the time. If a crime is committed and someone has your license, they will arrest you.
Love,
Mom
