IDentity theft - once removed

 When we moved to Texas we bought a car. A demo unit from a big dealer. When going through the car a few days later we found a paper form completed from someone who had had the car for a few days, Every possible piece of personal information was on that paper. I took that paper to the dealer and explained they had to take better care of customer personal data. Head nodding with blank expressions was what I got.

 When someone rents a car at a rental agency and drives away, they often sync their phone with the rental car. Convenient. What they probably don't do is erase the address or contact book that results from that smart phone sync. Well you and I do, but what about your friends? The friends with details about you and/or family? Home address, birth date, those details.
