Twinreaper Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 I have no problem sharing anything, I keep nothing private, . Whats the worst that can happen...someone gonna come beat me up! jk Daniel Reaper Woodlyn, Pennsylvania (United States) I live in an apartment complex. Security at the main office 3 years ago was not particularly tight. One night, 2 tenants broke into the office. They stole folders which contained signed lease agreements, as well as the HDD from the office computer. these tenants invloved were not good ones either. They were previously convicted fellons and made little or no rent payments in the previous 3 months...hence the robbery. One of the items in particular that were stolen, was my signed Money Order for the rent. The money order was bleached and had it's apartment number changed. In addition to this, the robbers also lifted my signature. Approximatly 2 months later, I started to recieve rejection letters from various Credit Card Companies, as well as few banks. The robbers not only tried to pay rent to their unit numbers with the money order, but also attempted to open lines of credit in my name. The kicker was, I had just gone thru a bankruptcy after losing my job, and the post office forwarded mail in my name to the newer aprtment number I had moved into just 1 week after the robbery. In the end, no real harm was done, as I had contacted the proper authorities to report the identity theft. What really made me mad was the lack of the restitution on behalf of the complex. the owner had fingerprints, a signature of one of the robbers on one of the bleached money orders, and still he did nothing. The robbers took basically over $7,000 in rent from them, and he did nothing! he pressed no charges at all and I actually had to fight him almost in court, to have him honor the money order that was stolen. If it wasn't for the copy of the money order I kept with the secretaries signaturing, verifying payment.....I likely would have been taken to court and been forced to pay the rent.
