Protect Yourself From Identity Theft

. A locking mailbox is a good way, but is not the only method used to protect yourself from identity theft. If you have a standard mailbox, you can help prevent identity theft by keeping unsolicited personalized offers out of your mailbox and by getting your name off unwanted mailing lists. There are a variety of companies (some free) like ProQuo that will do this for you. Keeping this type of mail out of your mailbox will reduce the amount of exposure of your personal information, which mail thieves love to steal.
