Which problem? Why do you care about the values of your primary key? The only thing you should worry about is that referential integrity is preserved.
One thing that can explain this situation is that there are about 1000 records that have been inserted/deleted between 768 and 1766.

Solution 1

The Identity function will increment every time anything is inserted even if you rollback within a transaction or delete the tailing rows (if you delete the last row with id of 1000 then insert a row you will get the id of 1001).
