Identity thieves commit their crime in several ways:

• They steal credit card payments and other outgoing mail from private, curbside mailboxes.
• They dig through garbage cans or communal dumpsters in search of cancelled checks, credit card and bank statements, and preapproved credit card offers.
• They hack into computers that contain personal records and steal the data.
• They file a change of address form in the victim's name to divert mail and gather personal and financial data.
