American Family Insurance is warning customers to be wary of identity theft after computer equipment was stolen in a burglary in Madison.
American Family is the state's biggest insurer of homes and vehicles. It mailed letters to more than two-thousand customers alerting them to the theft at the office of an insurance agent.
It urges them to contact credit reporting agencies for information on identity theft protections.
The break-in was back in July. American Family spokesman Steve Witmer says it took the company a while to determine the contents of the missing computer and assess the risk.
Of most concern is a stolen laptop. Witmer says it had customers' Social Security numbers and driver's license numbers.
