I was a victim of identity theft through a bank's incompetence. When I reported it to the police they explained that it wasn't a crime against me but against the bank so it would have to be reported by them. Strangely the bank thought that I had deprived them of well in excess of £ 35,000 and wanted me to pay it back, how does that work. It certainl felt like a crime against me? All sorted out eventually, bank closed the account and gave me some money for my trouble. So no crime at all, wonderful.
