<P><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3></FONT></P>The trash bin on <A
href="http://www.nbc4.com/topic/Paloma+Way">Paloma Way</A> behind a storage
building on U Street contained hundreds of real estate transactions. The papers
contained bank balances, salary information and Social Security numbers.
<P></P>"This is a tragedy to find all these personal documents in a Dumpster in
an alley," said D.C. police <A href="http://www.nbc4.com/topic/Bill+Farr">Lt.
Bill Farr</A>, who was at the scene investigating.
<P></P>Real estate agent <A href="http://www.nbc4.com/topic/Ron+Sneijder">Ron
Sneijder</A> said the files came from a settlement company that went out of
business a few months ago. He said he knows the owner of the company, and he was
working with police to identify the files and protect the information.
<P></P>"These should be with their underwriters. I don't know why they're in a
Dumpster," said Sneijder.
<P></P>"I am the victim of identify fraud myself, so I know how serious this
is," he said.
<P></P>One of the files contains the personal information of <A
href="http://www.nbc4.com/topic/Luis+Barr">Luis Barr</A>, a dentist in downtown
D.C. He said he is scared and nervous and doesn't know what to do to protect
himself.
<P></P>Officials said they will try to alert the people whose information was
found. <!--stopindex--></FONT></DIV>
