Do you know anyone that has been murdered?

Nope. And if I did, how would this be relevant?
I think that Dashi is trying to make a point by analogy. Your not knowing any
murder victims doesn't counter that fact that murders do occur. By parallel,
your not knowing (at the time; see Ben Sego's post) any identity theft victims
doesn't counter the fact that identity theft does occur. It's a weak argument
to an implied statement on your part (I don't know any identity theft victims,
therefore I doubt that identity theft occurs).
