I wrote in my last post: I do agree its on the side we need to be careful

Brain malfunction or bad typo? I meant to write I do agree it's on the rise (identity theft) and we need to be careful.

Tntea, yes everyone should do the best job he/she can, but mistakes happen. Guess what? Doctors kill people everyday and politicians bankrupt countries. Cops shoot people too. Nobody can get up in the morning and do a perfect job everyday.

The driver goofed and probably feels a lot w... [ More ]

I'm not exactly sure what information was disclosed, but sometimes ID theft is grossly exaggerated. I wrote more, but I decided if I want to rant about the fear that we live in today, I'll start a blog. I do agree its on the side we need to be careful about whom we talk to and the personal information we furnish, but most of it is widely available anyway. You can't file taxes without using your soc sec # millions of people put everything about their lives on a form into an envelope with... [ More ]

The driver should be held accountable for his neglect. When you have an important job, you should cover all steps to make sure you are able to carry it through. If not give it to someone who can..

With my luck, I would open the bag and the dye pack would go off and I'd be accused of robbing a bank.

Seriously, I would turn it in at the nearest police station and get a receipt.

To have the details of your bank information, just fall out the back of a truck is awful. It should have been more secure.
