Lodi Police said that the woman used an Oregon woman's social security number as well as several forged documents to buy a Lexus.

"The documentation she provided was above and beyond the average fraud stuff that we deal with on a regular basis," Brandon Gonsalves, owner of Approved Auto Center in Lodi, said.

Lodi police said the Lexus was recovered and returned to the dealership.
