Identity Theft and Bad Credit
I often address identity theft on this blog. In today’s credit-based economy, most people buy things with credit not physical money. Credit is the money nowadays. That’s why identity theft continues to become more prevalent. Identity thieves essentially steal your credit, and usually leave you stuck with damaged credit.

Real Crime Prevention
I just read an excellent blog post by Bob Betzen about real crime prevention.
