How can I protect myself from thieves?

Your Social Security Number

Don't carry your social security card with you, or use your social security number as your driver's license. If your wallet gets stolen, a thief could use this information to set up dummy bank accounts, obtain credit cards and go on a shopping spree, all under your name - Ouch!
