http://ww2.wpri.com/Global/story.asp?S=6774054 A Rhode Island hospital is warning several dozen customers to watch their credit accounts after a briefcase containing customer information including Social Security numbers was stolen from a parked car. Paperwork containing personal details from 79 customers of South County Hospital was left in a briefcase inside a car parked outside a Barnes & Noble store in Worcester, Mass., late last month, authorities said. Police say someone broke into the car and grabbed the briefcase. The theft happened after an employee of Medical Bureau of Economics Inc., a Massachusetts firm that handles hospital billing, picked up documents from a Narragansett office on June 29. That batch of paperwork contained details including names, addresses, Social Security numbers, phone numbers and a summary of hospital accounts.
