Identity theft is becoming a more frequent crime in our area. And now the state of Missouri is taking heat for compromising your personal information.
State files thrown in unsecured recycling bins have names, social security numbers and even birth certificates.
The Department of Social Services requires employees to shred or witness shredding of the files.
