There are some very good hints in this video that was sent to me from a friend. Watch the video and see how easy it is for a thief to grab and run with your valuables, especially your identity. This video was put out by our local Sheriff's Office. http://video.sheriff..org/psa_cartheft.shtml

I don't drive, claudia, but I am always alert to my surroundings whenever I go out. I never carry my credit cards unless I know that I will need them. I usually shop with cash. Having learned my SS# many years ago, I have no need to even carry that card with me. This brings back a discussion I posted a couple of days ago. Your doors should always be locked when you are in your car.

You are so right about keeping doors locked when in the car. Also keep them locked and the keys in your hand while you're pumping gas. It always pays to be alert of your surroundings. You're a smart lady.

You are totally right, worldwise1. It's a good idea to carry as few cards as is absolutely necessary, and don't carry your social security card around with you.
