thank you everyone for the kind thoughts and detailed information!

in addition to getting my regular work stuff done today, I now have a number of side actions that need doing, so my participation on this thread will be limited and brief.


but again, thanks.

my time to write up this post is a bit limited, so I'll post the executive summary and fill in details later when I have more time.

first, a question for people with knowledge and experience in this area: my SSN was on a laptop that was taken. now that I must assume that my SSN is out in the wild, what are my first actions to guard myself?


executive summary:
I live alone, in a home in a decent neighborhood. I arrived home late last night to see the livingroom turned upside down, and lights on in the stairway and upstairs. I retreated to my car and backed up half a block or so and called 911. PD arrived in 15min, I briefed them and they (team of 2) cleared the home. I was given the all clear and started taking inventory. perp(s) gained entry via the doggy-door in my garage. it turns out small, portable items were taken. 2 laptops, ipod, previous android phone, xbox (non-functional), wii, and a military duffel to carry it all in. PD took prints where they could, took their time to try and id any likely perps, as well as answer any questions I had. sitting in my tossed living room, I found myself grateful I didn't arrive with the break-in in progress, and have to perforate anyone.

thanks for any advice and insight. more details to follow.
