U.S. Bank has offered free credit monitoring to customers whose personal 
information was stolen recently from the car of a bank employee.

Bank spokesman Steve Dale said the names, phone numbers and Social 
Security numbers of a "very small" number of customers were in the

customers involved, apologizing and offering them remedies to help
