It's just that easy to steal blank birth certificates. And from there, he could've sold them to who knows who--and who knows in whose hands these birth certificates, names and social security numbers would have ended up.

I used to work in county government in another state. This is scary stuff!

When I saw the title of the post, I thought for a moment that perhaps he'd stolen mine. Oh well, at least for my sake they were blank. But a stack of blank certificates out there is not good.

FYI -
The military suggests that, once you are discharged, to submit your DD-214 to your local city hall, so it is "on record". BAD IDEA. This form then becomes public information once it is submitted. And, as most of us know, this document contains alot of information, including your social security number. If you need a safe place for your DD-214, put it in a safety deposit box at your bank. That way, you lessen your chances for identity theft.

I wonder if he used a local address, Cat?

Otherwise it should have raised a red flag that he lived in Woodstock, IL and applied for a temporary menial job in Waukesha, a 1 hour and 45 minute drive away...

Where I work we must be meticulous about keeping track of blank birth certificates. It's a pain to do, but worth it if you want to prevent fraud. Bump to this article for printing out and discussing with my employees on Monday as a reminder!

Outrageous. Thanks for posting this. I would have missed it otherwise.

How many jihadists are living there or nearby? Start questioning them first.
