Identity Theft Can Be Easy If You Let It

A few weeks ago, the Rodgers Forge C.O.P. provided an extensive report explaining about identity theft and how to prevent it. Well, sometimes, identity theft can be easy if you let it.

Our resident overnight foot patroller, was making his rounds on Monday July 25 when he came across a piece of trash outside the Midstate Professional Building on York Road. This piece of trash could have cost someone their identity. The piece of trash that he found was an application for a taxi cab driver's license. The application contained all the valuable information anyone could use to steal one's identity. Name, address, DOB, driver's license number & SSN were all on the application.

The patroller called the non-emergency number to report the found property. Officer Heyman came to retrieve the application. Officer Heyman was going to try & contact the individual and/or the cab company. The incident # for the report is # 112060170.

Here's a link to a video from the FTC providing tips on avoiding identity theft. http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/edu/microsites/idtheft/video/avoid-identity-theft-video.html

From the Baltimore County Police Department.

As our days darken sooner, this may serve as a timely reminder. The theft of valuables from a vehicle and the theft of the vehicle itself can happen at any place and any time. Thieves will break into any vehicle if they think there is something of value to be stolen. Valuables left in plain view include cell phones, GPS, CD's, cash, purses, etc. Theft from auto and auto theft can be prevented by following some basic crime prevention tips:

- Always lock your car doors and close your windows completely.
- Always park in well-lit areas or in garages.
- Never leave your car running.
- Do not leave valuables in plain view, no matter where you park. Hide them under a covering or lock them in your trunk or bring them into the house at night.
- When transporting valuables, place them in the trunk before you get to your destination. Don't transfer them while at the parking space.
- Mark valuables with a state ID number to increase chances of having property returned if it is stolen. Record the make, model and serial number of these items and keep the list at home.
- If using valet service, leave only the ignition key with the attendant.
- If residential parking consists of driveway and/or curbside parking, consider security lighting from dusk to dawn as an inexpensive crime prevention method.

On a related note, residents are now reporting theft from vehicles of work people in the area. An example is theft of a leaf blower from a truck. You may want to tell your service people to lock up and not keep extra things in their trucks, if possible.

Call 911 immediately to report a theft or suspicious activity (persons or vehicles). Provide police with a description of the suspects and their vehicle if it is known or observed.
