What are the odds?

When you steal someone's driver's license, it would probably be a good idea to take a look at the picture before trying to use it.
A bar waitress checking to see if a woman was legally old enough to drink was handed her own stolen driver's license, which was reported missing weeks earlier, police said.

"The odds of this waitress recovering her own license defy calculation,"police Capt. Guy Turner said Monday.

Maria Bergan, 23, of Lakewood, was charged Sunday night with identity theft and receiving stolen property. She was arrested at her home in suburban Cleveland and was jailed in Westlake to await a court appearance.
The thing I don't get is that the chick was over 21. If she was underage, well, I guess it would make sense to use someone else's ID to buy booze. It just doesn't make sense. Unless, maybe she had a really bad picture on her own license and looked crosseyed or something.
