Do You Own A Shredder?

[arwalden]

Count me in with the "it's-fun-to-shred-everything" crowd. Besides... the more little bits of confetti I can create, the less likely that someone will be able to find the important bits.

1. Shredding unsolicited credit card applicatons, bills, any material

that could be used for identity theft.

2. My dad, who does not buy Christmas presents,

bought everyone a shredder one year. He shreds EVERYTHING.

3. Those cash advance checks enclosed w/credit card bills & similar stuff. NT

4. We have a nice cross-cut shredder.....

It makes confetti!

We use it on sensitive documents only.....

Identity theft is a growing problem, IMHO......

5. Not yet- I've been meaning to get one, though.

I did some document-purging while cleaning out my file cabinet over the weekend, and I really could have used one. I like pretending I'm Ollie North, and Cathy is Fawn Hall. :P

6. I own a Hobart commercial grinder that...

will make marketable sausage from meat at the rate of four pounds per minute. ;-)

7. Don't forget to oil the shredder.

8. I've owned/used one for years.

I shred credit card info, bank account info, etc., when I don't need it any more. And because I work from home, and the files I have are confidential, if I have to throw something away, I shred it first.
