Identity Theft

Crafty crooks have learned that one of the easiest places to harvest identity data is a hotel room. Never leave anything lying around that may contain personal information. Just like any other valuable (passport, cash, jewelry, etc.) lock those documents in the room safe or your luggage. Identity theft also proliferates online. If you communicate personal financial information via email on a public computer, always verify that you have signed out of your email program completely before leaving the computer.
