Thieves take N.C. DMV computer.
Heard this on the radio this morning and it was the first headline greeting me at work today. A computer with the records of 16,000 drivers was taken from the DMV office in Louisburg, NC earlier this month. Louisburg is my hometown and my parents still live there. I’m sure they are affected and it’s possible that I and my siblings are also affected.
This doesn’t generate great good will with me towards my hometown or anyone who might steal equipment like that. I want to know why the computer equipment wasn’t secured in better fashion for one and I damn sure want to know how the investigation is going. I don’t worry so much about my own information as I already have a fraud alert in place at the various credit agencies. I’m paranoid that way. But I do worry about my folks. They’re old people and could be taken advantage of easily.
I mean, hell, they still rent their rotary phone from the phone company.
