Kirk hawkins, abc news, los angeles. 7 on your side, Michael Finney<\/a> is here answering questions sent to him by facebook, twitter and email. Anna asked, my Social Security<\/a> card has been stolen. Can i get a new number . Yes. You can get a new number but youre not going to get one. It is all but impossible. Do you it in the first worse cases. What you have to prove is that your number was stolen. Its being used and it is irreparably harming you. It cant just be a hassle. Its not enough. It cant be stolen. Thats not enough. Many thousands, millions of people have had their Social Security<\/a> number stolen. Saying give it a shot. But its very, very difficult.

How is the lucky store in santa clara able to use plastic bags when the county has a ban in place . Im glad you asked me that question. The county can only ban plastic bags. It can only make laws for areas outside of city limits. So its the unincorporated county. Thats why, because the city hasnt taken action. Heres whats interesting, though. There is a bill thats whipping its way through sacramento. Its going to be passed. It will ban plastic bags. Taking bags to the stores all the time. Its about education. Martin s. Asked, i recently purchased Airline Tickets<\/a>. How can i get my money back if i cant make the trip . Okay. I get asked this question so much. Did you buy refundable ticket . The answer is probably no. So the only legal way you can do it, the only way they have to do it for you is if you return the ticket within 24 hours of buying it. The department of transportation has a fairly new rule that says, you have 24 hours to turn in the ticket. Okay. Past that, you need to buy trip insurance. I keep talking about this because ill no longer fight for you. Everybody knows, weve been 30 years down this road. A nonrefundable ticket actually means nonrefundable. So you can argue with them, thats a good shot. But most of them are charging 200 bucks to replace a ticket. Its a pretty expensive ticket before its worth changing. Its not that much, is it . Its relatively cheap. Some of the airlines are selling it and some deals are better than others. Theyll charge you maybe 100 bucks on a 500 to make it refundab refundable. Some of them are really a lot of money. Not worth it. Do your homework. Michael, thank so much. Sure. Up next, time to play. A new playground opens today thats very special to us here at abc 7 news.

Defense attorney davidson says that means theyre part of this investigation. If witnesses are intoxicated, if you get conflicting accounts but to put in a highprofile case like this, the police are going to be under pressure to get it right. Im sure theyll want to talk to everybody at the party. Davidson prespecializes in Domestic Violence<\/a> cases. The District Attorneys Office<\/a> will have other considerations before moving the case forward. Just because ray was arrested doesnt mean that he should be charged.
