Cards do not contain any sensitive info about the owner (outside of the obvious things like name and visa number).

Most smash and grab thieves are not sophisticated enough or even brave enough to go through all that anyhow.
Do you know how easy it is to take one item of identity and create a full profile?

How are you going to say what I am assuming?

You can do a whole lot with out a SSN

They are brave enough to break your window? thats pretty brave.

...All they have to do is pass the information along, they dont have to do much with it they already have his physical location, and the ability to do what they want with the address, and name, which you could get a SSN out of.

I've seen it happen. Just because someone does a "smash and grab" doesn't mean they dont know how to commit a larger form of crime, this was a crime of opportunity, the "dumb criminals" were "smart" enough to watch and wait in some form or another and not get caught.


Regardless, it is smart to watch your a** if you want to pick it apart pm me.
