Laura Yecies
A recent consumer survey we carried out in the UK indicated that there is a discrepancy between people's attitude toward physical theft and toward software theft.

John Livingston
Insider theft can be very easy. Institutions should exercise as much care in the hiring of staff as possible.

David Nussbaum
Joyce is a perfect example of someone who saw an issue that needed attention and brought it forward to AARP. We were pleased to work with Joyce and Representative Hunt to change this law and help protect those using handicapped placards from identity theft. Working together, we have the power to make it better.
Jerry Cohen
Fraud alerts don't stop creditors from getting the credit record or credit score. The only type of fraud alert available to consumers before they become victims of identity theft only lasts 90 days, and it doesn't even require the creditor to contact the consumer.
Gail Hillebrand
A large portion of identity theft and fraud do come from Dumpster diving, taking mail from mailboxes.
Steve Larsen
A theft of this size is unusual, and it is a big deal. These projectors are used six days a week. Our professors rely on technology as they teach their classes, and this puts a kink in what we do.

Robin Wright
For instance, identity theft, can be an issue with regard to this industry.

David Sommers
Obviously, (theft) affects profit margins.
Rob Wacker
BRAHMA, n. He who created the Hindoos, who are preserved by Vishnu and destroyed by Siva - a rather neater division of labor than is found among the deities of some other nations. The Abracadabranese, for example, are created by Sin, maintained by Theft and destroyed by Folly. The priests of Brahma, like those of Abracadabranese, are holy and learned men who are never naughty. O Brahma.
Ambrose Bierce
We have no indication that any of the information's been misused. We went back and monitored activity in accounts since the theft, and we find nothing to indicate there's any unusual or suspicious activity.

Lt. Dave Nirode
It wasn't just theft. It wasn't just vandalism. It was the violation of a right we hold sacred. That kind of behavior needs to have repercussions.
Katie Walker
Except it isn't. Even taking one Post-It note home from the office is theft, technically speaking.
Gary Grant
Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired, represents, in the final analysis, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children.
Dwight D. Eisenhower

The victims can even be infants. If you have a social security number, you can be a victim of identity theft.
Melodi Gates
It's plain and simple. Where there has been evidence of music theft, there are consequences for illegal activity.
Jenni Engebretsen
Thankfully, law enforcement thwarted their successful efforts at theft.
David Boyd
Cyber-crooks, motivated by profit, have adapted well to the new environment -- they are now looking to silent infections that allow them to operate without much noise being made in the media. This means potential victims do not have their guard up and are more susceptible to theft of money and all types of information.
Luis Corrons
Rape mutilation, abuse, and theft are the natural outcome of a world in which force rules, in which human beings are objects.

Mike Allen
It's a piecemeal mix of problems, a combination of neglect, looting and vandalism, as well as the very specific theft of art objects. When you look from afar, you think, 'war damage,' but it's really many different things.
Tony Wilkinson
They gave credits and discounts to their friends. It is considered theft if you are doing that. You are taking money away from the company.
Officer Vaughan Dumas
What's most shocking about the controversial - and top-selling - Grand Theft Auto isn't embedded sex scenes, ... It's the financial chicanery of the game's maker. Why don't investors care?

Amanda Dodson
The politicians would have laughed if we would have requested money for protection against armed robbers before 'The Scream' and 'Madonna' theft.
Jorunn Christoffersen
It's like theft. We can have every law there is, but we're never going to eliminate it completely. It's the same with fraud. There's always going to be some people who take the short cut.
Drummond Rennie
Credit monitoring can't prevent ID theft. The thing that is worth paying for is the security freeze.
Chris Hoofnagle
New computer technology to prevent auto theft is being added to more and more new vehicle keys each year. However, motorists who lose these new high-tech car keys often face delays, inconvenience and significantly more expense in replacing keys, because locksmiths and other car repair facilities cannot obtain the information they need from car manufacturers in order to reproduce electronic keys.
Alice Bisno
That's the interesting part of the story. We believe when this theft was carried out, the person didn't know what they were stealing. Maybe when they had left the hospital and read the label, which identified the blood as HIV positive, they took the effort to put them somewhere where someone wouldn't be harmed.
Tim Fanning
California leads the nation when it comes to critical privacy protection laws. California law (Penal Code section 530.6) enables California residents who believe they have been victimized by financial fraud and identity theft to request a police report -- regardless of whether the crime was committed in the victim's location or somewhere else in the country.
Charlene Zettel
We have taken precautionary steps to minimize any potential impact from this theft.

Susanna Montezemolo
Highly unethical event that will only increase commercialization and encourage the theft of fossils from museums.
Mark Goodwin
Trafficking in counterfeit documents poses a serious security vulnerability and contributes to a host of other types of crimes, including identity theft and financial fraud. Our goal is to identify and ultimately dismantle the criminal organizations behind these highly lucrative schemes.
Leigh Winchell
We have trained staff who will screen the call to determine whether there has been an account takeover, a true identity theft or simply a possibility of identity theft, and put the person in direct contact with whoever can help them.
Brian Rose
They may have thought this was a prank, but it was felony theft, ... This was a piece of art work valued at over $1,500 so it's a felony for sure.
Donald Miller
They are so obviously not consumer devices that they are less likely to be a target for theft. In fact, the only problem we have had at all is one technician who left one on the roof of the van and the vehicle behind ran it over.
Nick Duckworth
I don't need to worry about identity theft because no one wants to be me.
Jay London
As long as students continue to corrupt this specialized academic network for the flagrant theft of music, we will continue to make it clear that there are consequences for these unlawful actions.
Cary Sherman
The key to prevent crimes, home burglaries, rape, robberies and vehicle theft in a community is if people are aware of what is going on with suspicious activities. They are the eyes and ears, they live there 24 hours, seven days a week, and they know what is normal and not normal.
Bob Wilkins
You might have your theft that might not be too involved in it and just do it on the side. And you have those who make it their day-to-day business are the ones that do it as business are going to be the better.

If you've got your house, got your car, got your two credit cards and you know there's no other credit that you'll be getting in the near future and you're very, very, very concerned about identity theft, take advantage of the fraud alert.
Beth Givens
Data theft and tampering are emerging vices in storage and backup industry and our system would checkmate it.
Soumitra Agarwal
Identity theft has become so common now that it's a dinner table topic. Your information is only as safe as the security of the companies who hold it, and 2005 has shown us that those companies are not doing a good job.
Jill Johnson
Greed and deception are part of the 'Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas' story -- and in that respect its publishers are not much different from the characters in their story.
Rocky Delgadillo
Theft is theft. When you log onto an illegal service and download music for free without compensation to the artists, the songwriters, the publishers, the musicians -- all those thousands of individuals whose hard work and great talent has gone into making that music possible -- there is no difference between that and walking into a Wal-Mart and shoplifting a CD.
Jenni Engebretsen
There is no real solution to stop identity theft immediately but the big tech trend is to focus on requiring stronger forms of authentication. And that's where security companies come into play.
Michael Tieu
Every solution also has drawbacks. Our goal is to work to find the most economic solution that prevents cattle theft and puts those who break the law behind bars.
Brent Bryant
We sincerely regret any concern or inconvenience that this theft has caused our employees. Ford takes seriously the protection of the personal information of its employees and will continue to take reasonable and appropriate steps to safeguard it.
Kathleen Vokes
It's going to take a lot of time before users are going to trust putting a lot of information into the computer, when there are scams that go on and you keep reading about credit card and identity theft.
Steve Berkowitz
Small business owners know that their most critical asset is their information, yet it is stored on computers that can crash and are susceptible to viruses, power outages and theft. Backup systems won't protect data if a virus causes a network/computer crash before the data is backed up at the end of the day. This is why continuous protection is important.
Anna Yen
We are the poster child in the state, maybe nationally, for data theft.
Rick Cagen
A significant amount of identity theft takes place in person with people tampering with mail or searching through people's garbage.
Paco Felici
In this world of ID theft and consumer anxiety about the release of personal information, do you really want to be collecting people's pay stubs, which contain sensitive, private information?
Steve Larsen
While most merchandise comes with a warranty it doesn't cover theft, it doesn't cover loss by unusual means, it doesn't cover damage.
Bryan Collier
Targeted Trojan attacks have much the same effect as conventional Trojans, often opening back doors and covert channels for information theft. What makes targeted Trojans different, though, is that they are made specifically for use against a particular organization or user group.
Paul Stamp
Theft [has] been an ongoing problem for us in many of the homes we build in different neighborhoods. What happens when the build site is left unattended, people will pilfer things.
Brad Bates
ID theft and security breaches are crimes like any other - they won't completely go away. So we have to try to reduce the amount of data that's at risk.
Joseph Ansanelli
Arizona offers a climate unusually conducive to identity theft.
Andrew Thomas
When you consider all the identity theft that is taking place now, the challenge for RSA is to monetize that, ... It's easier said than done.
Gregg Moskowitz
Now ITAC has achieved its second objective, getting more information about cases of identity theft into the hands of law enforcement agencies and getting it there faster.
Anne Wallace
The petty theft charge is a result of him taking a cab and stiffing the cab driver. He took a cab from Santa Barbara to Malibu and then didn't pay.
Jane Robison
We are very upset and disappointed. The theft alone has caused a great deal of upset, but the thought of it being melted down is worse.
Gareth Spence
We've found this to be the most effective way to limit theft. I imagine most people don't go to a library to steal. But people were finding (DVDs) had a street value. They could take them and sell them.
Stephanie Whitmore
[Nine months ago, Jenkins, 29, was addicted to crack, a habit formed when he was 18. In February, he was charged with criminal mischief, his second felony arrest. His first, in 2000, for car theft, landed him in jail for a year and a half.] Gone in 60 seconds? That was me, ... I used my skills in a negative way to make money for crack.
Curtis Jenkins
We would never use the £503m figure for pure identity fraud. We would put the figure at £36.9m. The Home Office included the figures for all card fraud. We define identity theft differently.
Sandra Quinn
Most of the charges are for things like possession of stolen property, theft over and under $5,000, unlawful use of credit cards, and possession of counterfeit money.
Jeff Wuite
We're having a tremendous amount of identity theft. One case took us to Atlanta. That's where the person had used (a resident's) Social Security and date of birth to purchase goods.
Lt. Darren Stewart
Vote buying is part of the case, but the absentee-ballot interference is, to me, much more sinister. It involves forging names, the theft of ballots from the post office, and voting (on behalf of) people who never even see the ballot.
Tim Mcafee
It was outright theft. He put (Black Tie Affair) on the lead and lulled the competition to sleep. Black Tie Affair didn't win that race; Jerry Bailey won that race.
Tom Durkin
I always thought that piracy connotes something glamorous. Let's call it what it is: theft. I think it's just like shoplifting.
Barry M. Meyer
This has been the single most effective theft deterrent system installed in vehicles.
Charles Territo
Now it's time to look back, ... Maybe it's like his 'Love & Theft' [Dylan's latest studio recording] kinda looks back musically.
Tony Glover
What we see in the history of identity theft and drugs is they go hand in hand.
Trish Hoffman
Given rising public concerns over identity theft and cyber-fraud, we think adding a clear and simple guarantee will contribute to even greater peace of mind for our clients.
Charles Schwab Corp
... Any card that can read a magnetic strip can read the Social Security number. We want students to be aware that identity theft is a reality, and it is happening nationwide ... that is the main reason the university wants the old cards back.
Tina Pinocci
I don't think it's a good idea being that I work overseas a lot, a lot of things could happen with my information such as like you said identity theft.
Cameron Johnson
PLUNDER, v. To take the property of another without observing the decent and customary reticences of theft. To effect a change of ownership with the candid concomitance of a brass band. To wrest the wealth of A from B and leave C lamenting a vanishing opportunity.
Ambrose Bierce
Stealing another person's property is theft, it's against the law and breaking the law must carry consequences or no one will think twice. Theft undermines the ability of the music companies to invest in the new bands of tomorrow and deprives labels, songwriters and musicians of their hard-earned royalties.
Jonathan Lamy
Although the Internet is responsible for its share of identity theft, studies have shown that use of the Web and other electronic means such as ATMs can actually help consumers remain vigilant against theft because they can monitor their accounts multiple times over the course of month.
Noah Elkin
Large firms must guard against identity-theft schemes at any point of contacts with customers.
John Nester
There isn't anyone, to my knowledge, who looks beyond ... the auto-theft rates. There's no scientific or analytical review of this data.
Frank Scafidi
The police came and were very supportive. Forty-five minutes after the theft, a lady found an empty box in Covent Garden. The box has been fingerprinted.
David Pugh
It is incredibly important, in conjunction with making ID theft a crime in Colorado, that we give our prosecutors the resources they need to prosecute these cases. I think the fact that the banking community has stepped up to the plate to help provide these resources is fabulous.
Rep. Anne Mcgihon
Banks are also asking for solutions they can give to online customers to combat identity theft.
Thomas Koll
There seems to be some parent concern, are we doing everything we can to avoid identity theft.
Jennifer Best
The ice epidemic is very critical -- that's the root of a lot of the problems we are having today from identify theft to property crimes. That would be a good start, to supplement law enforcement locally, to give state and county more funding to combat the ice epidemic.
Tenari Maafala
There are no laws that I know of, from speaking with the state's attorney's office, that requires a body to be embalmed. However if that's what you paid for, we're treating this as a theft of service or fraud. The family believed they paid for one thing and they received another.
Chris Sullivan
This isn't about the money. It's about the principle of stopping IP theft.
John Lovelock
When we find or are informed of such personal information in our files that could contribute to identity theft, we remove it and so inform the applicant or petitioner.
Richard Maulsby
They might also give you your credit score. They'll give you free copies of your credit report every year, and they also offer insurance against identity theft.
Linda Sherry
I think you could cut the auto theft rate in the entire country if the DMV databases talk to each other.
Les Craven
Is it okay to shoplift from a store that's doing well? It's called piracy, but the reality is that it's nothing more than theft.
Sarah Alexander
It's a big, mixed eclectic list that goes from 1900 to the present day, and the Design Museum felt that some of the biggest success stories of the last 10-15 years weren't just about things like the Dyson vacuum cleaner, but were things like Grand Theft Auto and Tomb Raider.
Eddie Morgan
Neither digital security nor lawsuits will stop Internet theft of content.
Eric Scheirer
(With this deal) the major labels have stopped whining about absolute control and embraced a new business model. Secure delivery, the majors' magic bullet, is overrated; legitimately making music available is the strongest weapon in the fight against music theft.
Eric Scheirer
There's still going to be mushroom theft in this area, but I expect to see a significant decline now.
Erik Raney
Your name, address, date of birth, phone number, everything can be posted on there. It would not be hard at all for someone to commit identity theft from the information you can find on people's profiles.
Elizabeth Mccarthy
First of all, ... if you just opt out, you're protecting your information from being shared with telemarketers who use deceptive scripts to trick you into ordering junky products. If this decision is upheld, you're also protecting your Social Security number from being shared with information brokers and that might protect you from identity theft and stalking.
Edmund Mierzwinski
Industry hopes to use the furor over breaches as a way to pass a modest federal reform that just happens to also permanently restrict the states from passing virtually any financial privacy or identity theft laws.
Edmund Mierzwinski
You don't need to spend $79 or more to monitor your credit. It's a gimmick designed to inflate the revenue at the bureaus. It's not going to prevent ID theft. It may give you a little bit of early warning. But it doesn't matter enough for you to pay that amount of money.
