Due to possible identify theft, I had to place a 90-day fraud freeze with credit reporting agencies, request that my vehicle insurance company place added security protection on my insurance account, and call the DMV. I also filed an on-line police report. I was fortunate since, a few days later, I arrived home to discover all my missing documents placed at my front door stoop. It appears that the perps took the binder of materials and discarded it in my neighborhood and some Good Samaritan returned it to me.
