DURHAM, N.C. -- Dozens of tax records -- including those of Duke basketball coach Mike Krzyzewski -- were recently found in a Dumpster in Durham.
Troy Simpson found the files when he came to drop off some trash.
"One of them was open," Simpson said. "On the top, I saw a tax return so I just saw that and it caught my eye."
Simpson found Krzyzewski's 1985 tax return, along with returns of dozens of other people piled in a Dumpster at a Durham trash collection center.
Krzyzewski's file includes information about beach property he purchased, stock receipts and business expenses.
Coach K's Social Security number, account numbers and checks were all perfectly in order for anyone to take. Simpson knows the information is a jackpot for an identity thief.
"People shouldn't be able to come to the dump and find these files and be able to read them so easily or get to the information so easily, Simpson said.
The returns were all prepared by a certified accountact, John Powell. He said a storage company kept his old files and had no idea the returns were in the dump until WRAL called.
