she is White, in college, medical program, gonna be a doctor i think...on scholarship and student loans.
long hair, not really hot, drives a honda.

yeah i mean i am NOT gonna ask for the $25 of course...she can have it as a Christmas present...i'm just surprised and weirded out about how my personal cert# was used by someone not in my household. And i'm just wondering if i should:

1) LET IT SLIDE, DO NOTHING.

or

2) CONFRONT HER(probably be real nice in a joking sorta way but let her know it was mine?).

Use this as a learning experience. It's the only way you'll get smart.

Hmm im pretty sure thats still considered private property so its technically against the law to be snooping through other people's trash

look i had gazillion bits and pieces of crap, paper on my desk so i thought i would clean the heck up. Saw the coupon, remembered i had already typed it down somewhere in my 'puter so i'll just toss it.

there's usually puke, spit and sperm in my trash...i wonder how she got to it, coz' even i wouldn't go poking in there.

It is private property if it is still at the house. If it's at the sidewalk, it's public. If she tresspassed, file charges.

Doesn't it become town property once it's at the sidewalk?

You and the trash lady are both freaks. I'll probably never meet anyone who does the sh!t you do(which is to write down the cert# so the coupon can be discarded). I'd tell that lady that she's a creepy motherfvcker. And start taking dumps in your garbage bag.

why didnt you shred it?

People really shred their garbage? If somebody wants to route around my rotten chicken carcus for information, that's their prerogative. I'm not going to shred my trash like some consipiracy theorist

You should be careful shmabbles. You never know whos stalking you

Trash, garbage, etc. is defined as abandoned property. This is why cops can rummage through trash without a warrant.
If you don't want someone to use it, shred it.

what does shredding really do? I mean, if someone really wanted your info, it really wouldnt take a rocket scientist to merge the shreds.

If you've got a big bag with hundreds of cross-cut papers in it, it makes it a bit more difficult then simply pulling out a piece of paper with your bank account or credit card number on it.

It's kind of like using a lock. A professional is going to get what they want either way, but a person who wouldn't do it otherwise simply won't.

It's not your trash as soon as you throw it out.

Yup, it's been ruled in several court cases that your garbage is public domain once you toss it.
