Does it have the "investigation" cut-out that California's does? In
California, you can not report if reporting would negatively impact an
ongoing criminal investigation. I've seen that used once to bury a loss
for quite a while (in fact, it may still be buried).

Hmm.

Wisconsin's notification law (http://www.legis.state.wi.us/2005/data/
acts/05Act138.pdf) says that notice should take place within 45 days.
This theft was in July.

These guys may have cut it rather close.

American Family Insurance is warning customers to be wary of identity 
theft after computer equipment was stolen in a burglary in Madison.

American Family is the state's biggest insurer of homes and vehicles. 
It mailed letters to more than two-thousand customers alerting them to

the theft at the office of an insurance agent.
