This is the fourth time in the past month that I have bought something from a thrift shop or yard sale that had VERY personal information inside.
This time it was a small bedside table. When I pulled out the drawer to smooth out the tread, out popped someone's medical receipts. This included their name, address, birthdate and social security number!
This is all the information necessary for identity theft.
I have worked for years as a Paralegal and have seen the havoc this can do to someone's life. It can take years to repair this kind of damage to your credit!!!!!
PLEASE! PLEASE! PLEASE! Take a few moments and search anything you donate or sell thoroughly!!!!
Those few moments can save you years of repairing your credit.
