Realization

[cyrano]

I just realized how much of my financial information was on the flash drive that went walkabout. The latest tax return being the most damning.
So what think you, LJ Brain Trust? How much overlap is there between the sort of person who would discover a flash drive at a public computer with identifying information and then keep it and the sort of person who would use my SSN to apply for a bunch of credit cards and drown me in fraudulent debt?

I second (er, third) the "put a fraud alert on your credit files" option.
