Closed Circuit City Store Dumps Personal Information in Trash

A week after the Coweta County, Georgia Circuit City closed its doors to the public, previous employees found documents containing personal information that could lead to identity theft back by the dumpster. It is unknown if the information was of its customers or its employees, or perhaps both. Authorities were notified of the information behind the store and they plan to take the documents they have found and have them shred. At this point, authorities are unsure if anyone else saw the documents behind the closed store.

Circuit City is not releasing any further information, at least not yet. Employees or customers of this store may want to take the precautionary measure of a credit report monitoring service to ensure the no illegal transactions are occurring on their credit report.
