Motorists at risk of identity theft
By leaving behind sensitive personal documents in their vehicles, motorists are at risk of identity theft. According to a study conducted by Direct Line Car Insurance, a 10th of parked vehicles had personal papers on show, including bills and bank statements. Also there are 12% more cars that had valuables positioned in full view of passersby. Upon interviewing car owners, it was discovered that 7% had forgotten to store their items away from sight and 6% even admitted that they forgot to lock their car doors. Jennifer Culley, Direct Line Car Insurance spokesperson says that car owners must ensure they don’t leave valuables or sensitive documents on display to avoid indentity theft.
