My Z got broken in to :(

Effen5

I accidently posted this in the intro forum but meant to post it here so if a mod can delete the other.

Last night my Z got broken in to. I live in a very nice area in the north shore of Chicago and they left me with this.

Stole my radar and my wallet.

Cops found finger prints though.

I will find you...

I went out to get something to eat last night and must've left it there by the cup holder by accident.

Window is fixed 275 completely done, will go home and take some pics.

They stole all of my CC's and my ID but none of them were used. I already cancelled all my cards.

When you park your car in public, NOTHING should be visible in the car. Not even a chunk change, because homeless would still break in.

Doesnt matter your information is already on the market, they are applying for new cards in your name now...


I would advise you get life lock for a minimum of one year if not longer to watch your credit activity, its not just some credit report if anyone even yourself applies for something they find out about it and let you know.

Doesnt matter if they got just one card or the whole stack, active or not. Your information is off to the highest bidder.

A) you are assuming that the thief is part of a identity theft ring and B) They can't do much without your social security number which hopefully wasn't in his wallet.

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.

memorylasts

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.

Because you are stating as fact that his information is already for sale and people are running up credit under his name as we speak. That's a pretty reckless statement and yes it is hard to "create a profile" without a social. I have been in financial services my entire career and you can't even open a savings account without an accurate social.

We have safeguards against information that doesn't match. The government now requires verification of all data and your address, social, dob, name, and ID must all match their records for any credit/debit products. Without an accurate social it will be declined.

Again if they have his social then it is a problem obviously. I am not going to "PM you" I'm not an internet tough guy and don't play into internet tough guys either. I am simply trying to diffuse misstatements which give unreasonable cause for concern. A persons wallet getting stolen doesn't make him an immediate victim of identity theft as you alluded to.

Our IDs and credit cards pass through thousands of merchants and other vendors on an annual basis... if he has flagged the cards with the provider he will be fine.

Please enlighten me as to how you get a person's social with their name and address? If that has basis we are all in a lot of trouble.

Why would he get lifelock (With monthly fees) when he can just freeze all three of his accounts (One time fee) for $30 or less and it will prevent anyone from getting credit in his name. Go to all three major credit bureas web sites and you can do this online.

memorylasts

Life lock was an example, its 360* coverage, and if they miss something you get a million cash to boot. They have a very good system. Not one company wants to give away 1 million.

Just saying.

All i was trying to do was give the OP the best chance to prevent anything else unwanted happening, it is up to him now.

You do not get a million dollars.

"If you become a victim of identity theft while you are a LifeLock member because of some failure or defect in our service, we will spend up to $1 million to hire experts, lawyers, investigators, consultants and whoever else it takes to help your recovery."

Sorry to hear that...

Oh man....Fingerprints huh ? Oh man.... I hope they find them...

They will be lucky that you don't find them first..

In my dream world, thieves lose both their thumbs and can never hold anything again..

But I am a crazy old knuckle dragger.. People's property should be off limits to others, but I understand the world that we live in..
