Jonathan Murray was fishing in a trash container for boxes Friday when he 
found what could have been a thief's bonanza.

Amongst the trash from a Blockbuster video store were membership forms and 
employment applications that included names, addresses, credit card 
numbers and Social Security numbers.

"The sad part is that even after I told Blockbuster about it, I went back
