Today, I'm reading about identity theft, for some reason. Here's a list of advice for prevention and such:
http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/edu/pubs/consumer/idtheft/idt01.shtm
Also, preapproved credit card offers not only waste paper and your time, they increase the chances of identity theft, since each one is one more document with a bunch of your info on it. So, go to OptOutPrescreen.com (which is endorsed by the FTC) and opt out of receiving them.
