How does someone steal your house?

Wednesday, August 31st, 2005

I was reading Bruce Shneier’s web site on security (it’s a bit technical at times, and is aimed a little more to the Geek crowd like me, but still a good read (it is in my Blogroll)), and I stumbled across the following story:

Identity Thief Steals House

I implore you to be careful and watch out for those identity thieves
