[ WP ] In the future , technology exists to transfer one person 's conciousness to another body , giving identity theft a whole new meaning . Write about the identity black market .

The first time I came into contact with the black market was body theft, back when I was 13. Stealing bodies, or'literal identity theft', as some of the police called it, is n't as commonplace as an occurrence as drug dealing, slavery or individual body parts, but is a definite problem. 
 
 It was a Saturday morning. I was getting breakfast, dad was listening to some old podcast and mum was off at work. I had just popped the straw in when I heard some screaming from outside the apartment building. I walked into the balcony, with my equally surprised dad, to see a deranged naked man running around the streets below, making an awful mess of himself. 
 
 Dad told me to stay up here and call the police while he sorted him out. So I did. He spoke with the man for a bit and calmed him down, sitting him on a bench and giving him an old dressing gown. The police arrived in a few minutes and took the two off to the station for questioning. 
 
 My dad was interviewed thoroughly, but came back in one piece to tell the tale. The man had been kidnapped, fallen asleep, and had woken up in another body in a dumpster near our apartment complex. The police managed to track down his old body, but did n't catch the guys responsible. Pretty scary to know they're still out there. 
 
 I got to speak to the man personally when we invited him over for dinner. Quite a nice guy actually.
