Division employees that some of their private information - including 
Social Security numbers - may have been compromised when someone tossed 
copies of city records onto a Visalia street over the weekend.

Police are continuing to investigate how the copies of the city payroll 
records and other documents - part of a court file in an embezzlement case

The records were part of the case against Jesse Moreno, 36, who was 
arrested in April 2005 on suspicion of grand theft, embezzlement and 
hundreds of incidents of forgery. Moreno, who was a recreation supervisor
