A 38-year-old Chicago man was charged with stealing the identities of 27
Lake County residents, and is suspected of stealing the identities of
almost 90 Major League Baseball players, according to Lake County
authorities.

David Dright faces 27 counts of identity theft involving "ordinary people"
who live in Lake County, said Patricia Fix, chief deputy of the high-tech
crime unit for the Lake County state's attorney's office.

A search of Dright's home Tuesday turned up personal information on
retired and current ball players, including Chicago White Sox slugger Jim
Thome and New York Mets outfielder Moises Alou, Fix said.

The information apparently came from trash bins outside Northbrook,
Ill.-based SFX Baseball Inc., a sports agency that deals with Major League
Baseball.

Dright allegedly went into trash bins outside SFX and took the personal
information, Fix said. Evidence was found inside Dright's apartment after
another man complained that Dright stole his identity, she said.
