'07 Bonnie & Clyde Take Over Philly Media, Facebook

Oh, yes, now the rest of the media has picked up on the Bonnie & Clyde of ID fraud and there apparently was a press conference where they laid out a bunch of fake IDs.

It's on the front page of Philly.com again today, too, with many more hilarious photos, including one after the jump.

This is Jocelyn "Bonnie" Kirsch, in a photograph taken in Paris on a trip she took with Edward "Clyde" Anderton. Daily News:

Yesterday, Philadelphia - including the neighboring West Philly campuses of Penn, where Anderton graduated in 2005, and Drexel - was abuzz over the scammers who local cops have dubbed a modern-day "Bonnie and Clyde."

On the social-networking Web site Facebook, popular with college students, someone even started a group about Kirsch, on which someone posted the words: "SHE GOIN' TO JAAAAAAAAIL!!!!"

I can't find that group, sorry. But this story (and the media's coverage of it) can only get better.

Also, Rittenhouse Grifters? Also a possible nickname? We've been tossing it around.
