WARREN, OH - Legal documents from a defunct law firm bearing personal
information including Social Security numbers and dates of birth on
thousands of documents surfaced in an open trash bin in downtown
Warren this week.

The documents include names, addresses, spousal and child information,
Social Security numbers, dates of birth and income earnings. The
information was left unguarded in the bin for more than 24 hours, but
the Ohio Supreme Court and local Bar Association secured the trash
receptacle after receiving phone calls about the matter from the
Tribune Chronicle.

The move, brought to the attention of the Tribune Chronicle by an
anonymous caller, left some of those named in the documents angry and
dumbfounded.
