So, my husband travels for work a lot. Last night, on his way back to the airport, he stopped for dinner in a crowded mall. When he returned to his rental car, someone had smashed the window and taken his computer bag. He lost his work laptop, work credit cards, work cell, car and house keys, our personal tablet, flash drives, other random items, and his PASSPORT!!
I immediately set up fraud alerts, we cancelled the passport, signed up with LifeLock (not even sure if it's worthwhile-- but we got a free 30 day trial), and now we panic. It took us YEARS to get our credit decent, and now there's a very high possibility that someone can screw it all up.
What else can be done to protect ourselves?
