For the Idiot File...

David Dright, 38, out of the Chicago area in Lake County, has been charged faces 27 counts of identity theft, idenitieds which included White Sox player Jim Thome and the Mets' Moises Alou. As well, He's suspected of stealing the identities of almost 90 players, which he found sifting through the trash bins of the SFX Sports Agency.

Dright's bond was set Wednesday at $250,000. Even more scary, the police and authorities found included Social Security numbers, dates of birth, canceled paychecks, obituaries and infant death records in his home.

As a person in the defense industry, word to the wise - if you ever throw away anything, especially with items with your personal or company information, shred it!
