You can do a whole lot with out a SSN
They are brave enough to break your window? thats pretty brave.
...All they have to do is pass the information along, they dont have to do much with it they already have his physical location, and the ability to do what they want with the address, and name, which you could get a SSN out of.
I've seen it happen. Just because someone does a "smash and grab" doesn't mean they dont know how to commit a larger form of crime, this was a crime of opportunity, the "dumb criminals" were "smart" enough to watch and wait in some form or another and not get caught.
Regardless, it is smart to watch your a** if you want to pick it apart pm me.

Because you are stating as fact that his information is already for sale and people are running up credit under his name as we speak. That's a pretty reckless statement and yes it is hard to "create a profile" without a social. I have been in financial services my entire career and you can't even open a savings account without an accurate social.
We have safeguards against information that doesn't match. The government now requires verification of all data and your address, social, dob, name, and ID must all match their records for any credit/debit products. Without an accurate social it will be declined.
Again if they have his social then it is a problem obviously. I am not going to "PM you" I'm not an internet tough guy and don't play into internet tough guys either. I am simply trying to diffuse misstatements which give unreasonable cause for concern. A persons wallet getting stolen doesn't make him an immediate victim of identity theft as you alluded to.
Our IDs and credit cards pass through thousands of merchants and other vendors on an annual basis... if he has flagged the cards with the provider he will be fine.
Please enlighten me as to how you get a person's social with their name and address? If that has basis we are all in a lot of trouble.

Doesnt matter if they got just one card or the whole stack, active or not. Your information is off to the highest bidder.
