Identity theft

Not an issue in this case, but then I'm no axe murderer or con artist

but one thing that's worth noting is that when you send out any letters or parcels, either use a new envelope or bag, or make sure your address details are completely removed from the envelope before you send it

I assume that's a dig at me

Knowing someone's name and address isn't enough info to steal someone's identity surely?! I could get limitless name/address from 192.com for free anyway.

Or am I missing something?

Not really a dig, honest

But with name, address and postcode you would be surprised at how much more info I could find on the internet. Easily enough to get credit with some firms. Quite scary really.
