I had a problem with my mail and learned about how letters with ID information are being stolen from mailboxes. This Jewish man was telling me about it. I met a lawyer friend at Starbuck's and he was also telling me about that as well.
There are people who know which papers contain this information and either they steal it or inform others to do so. What better than tax forms with your SSN and name and address or statements for retirement plans. This has to be stopped. We shouldn't have to deal with this.
