Incident Summary: An intern from Ohio whose term with the company was ending reported her purse had been stolen at an earlier date. According to the police report, the woman told police that her purse – containing driver’s license, social security card and passport was taken from her workstation on May 19. She was informed that if she planned to fly home, she would need identification to board the plane but a copy of the police report might suffice.
