Your Personal Information Tip
sorry for bring this post back up but just had to comment:
I think keep info on or near (cd) your computer ranks right up there with hiding in the wife’s jewelry box.. with so many good hiding place in your rv, why keep it near anything that a thief might want to take?
this reminded of a guy I knew back in highschool. he had been at sea for a year with the navy, and came home to a 1 month leave. he had saved a few thousand dollars for his vacation. he was worried about losing his money so his brilliant plan was to hide the money in his cassette tape case. Well, you can guess the rest, on his trip home he stopped to fill up and grab a drink, when he came back to his car everything was still there except in tape case.. He had put it in the only thing a thief though was worth steal, his music collection.
Anyways, some of better ideas I have is write the info on small piece of paper, put it in a baggy and tape it in a hard to find location. My favorite idea, for me, is to write the info on the back of a picture of myself, and then put the picture in a fame. Luckily I’m a very ugly person , so I don’t have to worry about some wanting to steal a picture of me. :bleh:
I also like the ‘hide in plan sight’ idea. You really don’t need all you credit card info, just the bank’s phone number. Think about if, if you call the bank told then your card was stolen, they won’t argue with you the close it out. i sure they can come up with the card number with just you name, address and maybe date of birth. Maybe they might ask for your ss#, and mother maiden name, but they would be foolish not to cancel the card, even if you don't have the number and expiration date. so just put the bank’s phone number in your address book. If you need jr’s ss# encode it. For example if it’s 111-22-3333, just put and entire in you addy book as "jr’s cell (111)223-3330" (just have to remember if the last number is bogus).
