300,000 wallets are lost or stolen each year
If your wallet was stolen would you know what was in it? Credit card numbers, driver's license, health insurance card info, etc? Take a minute, empty your wallet onto the photocopier. Spread out your cards and hit start. Then put the copy somewhere safe (not in your wallet). If your wallet ever goes missing you will know what was in there.
Check your mailbox everyday
Identity thieves love pre-approved credit card offers. Be sure to clean out your mailbox each day to ensure that mail does not pile up and become susceptible to identity thieves stealing your offer and using your credit card promotion for their own use. Opt out if you do not wish to receive pre-approved credit card offers.

Know where your Health Insurance Card is
Do not carry your health insurance card with you everyday in your wallet or purse. Leave it at home somewhere safe and secure.
