ACORN Docs Pulled from Dumpster By R. STICKNEY Updated 3:04 PM PST, Mon, Nov 23, 2009
As Derrick Roach tells it, it was either luck or Divine intervention. His version of events may be hard to believe for ACORN supporters but the former Republican state assembly candidate believes something drew him to the dumpster behind the ACORN office in National City on the night of Friday, Oct. 9.
Roach recalled the moment he discovered thousands of ACORN documents simply bagged up and thrown in the trash.
He was driving home, he explained Monday, when a thought occurred to him to put his skills to use.
Roach, who describes himself as a local private investigator concerned about what was happening in his neighborhood, told how he “came by” the ACORN office and “observed some individuals in the office and also observed the individual dumping documents into the dumpster around the corner,” he said.
“I came back later that evening, after business hours, and from an unsecured dumpster removed those documents and they have been in my possession since,” he said.
The documents, which filled Roach's vehicle, numbered close to 20,000 according to Tony Krvaric, chairman of the Republican Party of San Diego County.
“This is a massive data breach at the very least of individuals who come to ACORN for help and assistance,” said Krvaric. “To have their information, tax returns, immigration documents thrown in the trash like common trash is absolutely an affront to every San Diegan.”
“[ACORN] cannot be trusted to be helping people here,” Krvaric said.

Good.
They need to hurry up and catalogue them besides getting them up online.
From the dumpster, mind you!!!!
No doubt the authorities will find a reason to prosecute him. Trespassing? Unauthorized interruption of a criminal enterprise? Hate-crime? How ‘bout it Jerry Brown-shorts?
There!
Problem solved.
Wow I hope they checked other ACORN dumpsters before revealing this find! I’m sure this has been common among all the ACORN offices to dispose of records. Not anymore though. I’m sure the word is out to clean out any dumpster from anything pertaining ACORN as of now!
Yes. How convenient of them to personally sort out the really implicating material from the gobs of everyday stuff for us!
There must be something more to those documents other than merely personal info that should’ve been shredded before getting tossed out.
This is getting fun!
His story is shady as hell, which will get the media involved. They will definately want to damage this guy.
Reminds me of the Florida couple who happened to stumble across Newt Gingrich, then happened to accidently listen to him, and oh by the way, they taped him, too.
Many people dig around in dumpsters.
Poor ACLOWN, can’t trust anybody.
GOT AN ADDRESS FOR THE THANK YOU NOTE? What a good idea to send them a compliment.

Nonsense. ACORN was disposing of unneeded records and saving energy by not shredding them. The paper records can be reused on the blank reverse side by the less privileged.
Acorn and obowma think just because they can outsmart everyone in dare gangsta culcha, they can pull any street thug trick they want on us dummy honkys. NOT!
