Hit with Identity Theft

I found out around 8 this morning that I'm the victim of identity theft and the credit card was in my purse.
I have been to police department and on the phone cancelling cards, contacting the credit bureau fraud department and putting a freeze on my accounts. Unfortunately, these creeps get away with this coz there is not very much you can do until they strike again.
The police can't do anything until I get the affidavit from the credit card company and that takes approximately 21 days, plus it has to be notarized with a raised seal, something I just found out. I'm afraid it will probably add even more time to when I can get the report made. Then because it's out of sate, I may not be able to do anything other than file the report.
What makes me the angriest is, they broke the law but I have to correct it, taking hours of my time.
Not to mention (which I guess I am) all the feelings it brings back from when I suffered the assault several years ago.
