Something our vets should be aware (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060522/ap_on_go_ca_st_pe/veterans_disk_1) of.

What are the odds that burglars would hit at the exact time this guy took their data home with him? Suspicous.

The odds are better for being the only winner in a $200,000,000 powerball drawing.

Yeah, saw that on the news last night... That's really special.

Oh, fantastic. Time to check the credit report.

If they can get a credit card with my data, I want to know how they did it....So I can too....

Thought this thread was about Animal Doctors ;/

Even better. Better meaning "worse." (http://www.cnn.com/2006/US/06/07/vets.data.ap/index.html)

I received a letter today from the Department of Veteran Affairs informing me that the data was stolen and what steps I should take to protect myself now.

Yeah I got the same info:

DUCK AND COVER!!!!!

I guess I'm lucky, no letters yet.

Received my letter Saturday.

I was discharged in 1971, but used my GI Home Loan in '86, which makes my file active in the time span covered.:mad:

Got my letter Saturday as well.

Fandos

Mine showed up Monday. Wheee!

Has anyone read anything about the employee who took the data home in the first place? Any action taken against him? The status of the investigation?

Still no mail for me although I may have moved a few times since I separated only about 5x hehe. Or, I'm just lucky :D

He was fired. Now there will be a 4 year long investigation by a government oversight committee. Yet another feather in the caps of some useless politicians....
