What percentage of identity theft is the result of burgled documents?


Not sure, but a stolen (some say give away by disgruntled postal carrier) USPS key was used to break into dozens of mailboxes in a very affluent zip code in San Francisco (Nob Hill and Russian Hill).

It must have been very lucrative for the pair of thieves. Also scary that a single key works across an entire zip code.


The lost credit card number, whether from a wallet or a web site.
