I 2A - Wednesday, September 19, 2007 The Michigan Daily - michigandailv.com T HEY DON'T BE FAKEEDR OUT How do the Village Corner people always know which IDs are fake? When it comes to spotting fake IDs, it's all amatter of expe- rience. So says Lorin Brace, who works nights at Village Corner, a campus grocery store known for confiscating the fake IDs of underage students. Brace, a four-year veteran of Village Corner, said he sees "hundreds and hundreds of IDs from all over the country or the world" on an average weekend night. "Eventually you sort of figure out what certain IDs are sup- posed to look like or feel like," Brace said. "You get the feeling after a while if they're too stiff or too faded."

Still, looking through a stack of more than 40 phony IDs taken in the last three weeks alone reveals Village Corner's fast eye for fakes. "Some of them are really bad," Brace said. "But some of them are a little bit harder to tell." When a Village Corner employee does confiscate a fake ID, some students have been known to get a bit hostile, Brace said. He said it's not uncommon to be berated after taking some- claimed his bike was locked before it turned up missing. There are no suspects or wit- nesses in the case.

In one instance, a young woman leapt over the front counter in an attempt to get her fake ID back. Not only was she unsuccessful, but the fake ID listed her actual address, which allowed the police to locate her shortly thereafter. Above all, Brace said that there's no secret to spotting a fake ID. It merely comes down to hard-earned experience and intuition. "There maybe certain things you look for," Brace said, "but really it's just knowing what a real ID is supposed to look like." ANDYKROLL Lorin Brace, a manager at Village Corner', holds a handful of fake lDs. The store has caught more than 40 fakes in the last three weeks.
