Authorities in DC have discovered a dumpster full of real estate transactions. The documents contained bank information, salary information and Social Security numbers. It is unknown who dumped the boxes but the company that owned them is no longer in business.

What is becoming obvious is that the mortgage crisis is driving many mortgage companies into bankruptcy. When this happens all their customer's personal information in the trash for the world to discover. Lets hope the mortgage crisis doesn't end up starting an identity theft crisis.
