Get out of town!

A Chicago architect who moved to the Big Apple in June says her life became a nightmare after two hard-charging real-estate brokers got her fired from her job, broke into her Upper East Side apartment and took all of her belongings -- even her beloved dog -- when she couldn't pay the rent because she was the victim of identify theft.
