Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / Driving / December 2005Sum Dum Phuc
One of the amazing things I discovered when I started walking to the train station in the mornings is the amount of litter that people toss out of their car windows as they drive. And it's not just cigarette butts and In 'n Out wrappers, either - I've come across confidential corporate memos, phone bills, gas bills, and other "sensitive" documents. Here's a hint for all you folks who are concerned about identity theft: it's probably not a particularly good idea to discard your expired passport by tossing it out your car window onto the sidewalk.

Yep, I've seen all of the above and more when on my walks. The local government has even used things like bills and such in illegally dumped trash to go after the dumper. > Here's a hint for all you folks who are concerned about identity > theft: it's probably not a particularly good idea to discard your [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > http://tinypic.com/jaay5v.jpg Haven't run across a passport yet, but I'll be keeping my eye out.

OTOH, I've found a $10 bill, lots of change, quite a few sockets (almost always SAE rather than metric -- is there a lesson to be learned here?) and a Gerber tool. > Here's a hint for all you folks who are concerned about identity > theft: it's probably not a particularly good idea to discard your [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > http://tinypic.com/jaay5v.jpg Consider the possibility that his wallet/whatever was stolen and the thief just tossed the useless stuff out the window. On our bike rides we've found half a dozen wallets that that explanation fits. If there's any ID left I try to locate the owner -- last one was a kid who left his wallet at a Starbucks -- gone when he went back for it, of course. His insurance card was still inside, along with some photos etc. Kid was glad to get it back. Others I just drop in, for instance, the library return slot. I'm willing to invest some effort, but not a lot. SignatureCheers, Bev -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- I bought a tape called "Subliminal Advertising" The next day I bought 47 more. > OTOH, I've found a $10 bill, lots of change, quite a few sockets (almost > always SAE rather than metric -- is there a lesson to be learned here?) > and a Gerber tool. I find all sorts of stuff too, especially while biking. I found a 9mm deep 1/4" drive craftsman socket in front of my house... like 3 baseballs too, nice ones. On the road I've found a couple screwdrivers, a wrench, a perfectly good roll of blue ducttape.... The oddest thing I've found biking has to be the rear housing of a GSM cellphone that wasn't even sold in the USA and didn't even function here. there is some possibility it was molded a few miles from where I found it though. >> OTOH, I've found a $10 bill, lots of change, quite a few sockets (almost >> always SAE rather than metric -- is there a lesson to be learned here?)

There's a golf course about a half-mile up the street. Gentle hill. It's amazing how far golf balls will roll... The other day at a park my husband found a working cellphone. Fancy, GPS, etc. He called one of the numbers, who called the owner, who called the phone and said he'd be there to pick it up in an hour or so. Jeez, if I'd lost something like that I would have tried to hurry a bit more! Even if insurance covers stuff like that, you still have to fill up the addressbook again etc....

I could easily be an hour away from somewhere I lost something. I could leave the second I found out and still need an hour or so to get there. >> The other day at a park my husband found a working cellphone.

The owner could have been 5 miles away and taken an hour to get there. >Consider the possibility that his wallet/whatever was stolen and the thief >just tossed the useless stuff out the window. Possible, I suppose - but why carry around a passport with you that's been expired for 5 years? >On our bike rides we've >found half a dozen wallets that that explanation fits.

If this passport had been valid, I'd have returned it to the passport window at the Post Orifice so they could return it to the owner. Since it's expired, however, I just threw it into the shredder. ;) > <bashley@myrealbox.com> wrote: > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > Possible, I suppose - but why carry around a passport with you that's > been expired for 5 years?

As Bev mentioned previously, there's a slight chance that he might have been a victim of theft, and the thief is the litterbug. It's just as easy to make fun of the kid without revealing all of his personal info and exposing him to possible identity theft. I'm not a COMPLETELY heartless prick. ;) >It's like those silly folks who post their cars on car sites and >block off their license plates. Thousands of people can see the >plates all day long, but this reality seems to elude these folks. I'd say this is one notch worse than a license plate. With the plate, you need a friend at the DMV (or a few hundred $$$ to a sleazy private dick) to obtain any useful information. The passport has his full name, date of birth, etc. printed right on it.

If you're not going to exploit them, they're probably not worth examining. If you are, you shouldn't post about them. And if you want to see filth, check out a Philly subway station. SignatureThere's no such thing as a free lunch, but certain accounting practices can result in a fully-depreciated one. |
