I am slightly worried about a breach in my private information. 10-11 months ago my laptop hard drive was thrown out. I had deleted any financial information and personal information a year prior to throwing out th drive. I used the computer 3-4 hours a day for music, videos and other daily use. Does identity theft often occur from this sort of thing, even though i had deleted all my info months prior? would i know by now? I lived in an apartment complex and the 2 years i lived there i never saw anyone pawing through the 4 dumpsters there. I didnt just simply toss it, i hid it very well in the trash..i think in a bag of cat poop. I also found out that the waste from my complex is incinerated. Am i ok? I have aleady checked my credit report recently.
Thanks!
