Thanks David....I will look into it more.  I love doing research!!  There are just too many darn topics!!!  I do know that with your name and b-date thieves can get your ss#, DL# and a whole bunch of other stuff. 

Yaknow, I need to mention to my neighbors too as we just had our first - creating stages-  block watch meeting (long story there).  Anyway, the Cop that came to speak with us gave out ultraviolet pens and instructed us to note our SS#'s on our TVs and things that are commonly stolen in a break in.  Can you believe that???????  That way if the items are recovered the cops can return it. 

Like the ding dang criminal won't have a frickin black light to use to read off the numbers (which, i have not tested but assume would work as it lites up wisk detergent pretty good).  The idiots that actually did it.
