Naturally, most households have plenty of security measures in place to protect their families and their large investments. Doors get locked, bikes get chained, and security systems get turned on. But because it's intangible, people often forget to make the same effort to keep their identity safe. If you are disposing of documents with private information at your home, they are at risk of being stolen and used against you.
Identity theft in Chicago and nationwide has been on the rise for years. Far too often people find themselves as victims of identity theft without having a clue as to how it happened. It could have been caused by something as simple as having thrown their personal papers in the trash.
It's commonplace to carelessly throw away bank statements, medical records and credit card information, so thieves know to target your trash and will dumpster dive to obtain your information. For this reason, document shredding is important.
