Here is a short riddle that sounds like it must describe a physical object: What can be stolen, changed, or mistaken—but never touched?
Answer: Your identity.
An identity can be stolen through identity theft, changed when personal details or names change, and mistaken when someone confuses one person for another. Yet identity itself is not a physical object that can be touched.
The wording is designed to send your mind toward something tangible before revealing that the answer is an abstract part of who a person is. Did another answer come to mind first?
