Stolen Goods and Identity Theft: You're next!

This morning, my wife found that her car was broken into last night and her iPod docking station was stolen and the glove boxes opened (it was a fast, smart, tech-gear oriented lift). SAPD noted several cars had been hit the same night. Now, sure, we live is "safe" San Anselmo, so the point here is to "Lock your car doors" and start locking your house. But it doesn't stop here: As the economy declines, more jobs lost and depression is in air, Desperate times call for Desperate Measures: In short, we see CRIME INCREASE. The point-in-case theft (above) in our community is NOTHING compared to the ever-expanding world of International IDENTITY THEFT. You really have NO IDEA how much of your information is at large. This evening I attended a San Anselmo Chamber of Commerce presentation featuring State Farm agent Kris Kelson plus Identity Theft expert John Taylor. I HIGHLY recommend that you reach out to John Taylor (click here to email him) and get informed. The threat is real, the solutions are available. Protect your ass...ets. You can also call John Taylor at Taylor and Associates at 415-454-3977 for a consultation. In the meantime, rest assured that California Mortgage Advisors has always had measures set in place to safeguard your personal information.

Thank you Pat for the kind words. The most diffcult part of my job is hearing the stories of victims who have been devastated or in some cases even wiped out. Thee problem is a lot of people don't want to hear any more bad news. The solutions are pretty easy if you can get individuals and business owners to listen. In an ideal world everyone would have an early warning system in place. If that happened then you could effectively lower the value of the data to thieves.
