Buddy of mine, a retired military officer, got pick-pocketed in New York.* They got his military ID card and one credit card.* The CC has been canceled.* But, I advised him to put on a credit freeze, because the military ID has his ss# and DOB.* He doesn't want to do it, because he fears the credit companies.

So: the question is:* Should he have done it?* Is Experian et al. safe?* I've used them, with no problems, but he could have a point.*

If he's lucky, the id stuff has been burned in city dump.* If not, well, I suspect the id thieves in Ny are pretty sophisticated.* This happened last week, and so far so good.* Comments?
