On the way to the train station this am I spotted a laminated card in the sidewalk. Something told me this was important. Picked it up- you ready for this?-

 

I was a laminated social security card!

 

I have it in my wallet right now but I had to catch the train. I am thinking I should call my local PD and arrange to drop it there tonight on my way home? I don't see any reason to give it to the NYPD unless simply having it in my pocket is going to get me in trouble.

Just drop it off at the pd... could be a stolen card..

I'd try calling the SSA. If I couldn't get through after a couple of attempts then to the local PD. I'm not sure what the PD can do, can they access that information for a lost item as opposed to crime?

You never want to have somebody else's info on you. Having that info could be considered a crime. Turn it in to the dept of the town where you found it asap

That's what I thought. I am currently on the train to NYC though. I guess I'll turn it in there.

What train

What train

 

Um the pretty silver one? I'll pm you

Pretty are no trains around here

Throw it away. Too much trouble to find the owner. Stupid a** should've not been carrying it with him anyway.

I continue to be amazed as to why anyone carries their SS card with them on a daily basis. There's absolutely no reason to do this.

rip it into pieces and toss out

I also advocate destroying it. They will just get a new one.

Wipe your finger prints off it.

Turn it in, just think if you were at the MVC updating you license and you lost yours, what a hassle to get a new one, and think about if you lost it on the way to needing it for something.

 

Not like none of us haven't lost anything in our life time.

yep getting a new one sucks...

People can be very careless with things like SSN's even when they are trained in how to secure the info. If it were my SS card, I would prefer the OP shred it and not hand it to some clerk that may just leave it sitting on his/her desk for anyone to see. Who knows how many hands it will pass through once it is turned in?

 

Getting a replacement is not all that difficult.

True, but the problem is in this age of technology for 9.95 you could probably have unlimited access to a website to fin info about people and their SSN, addresses, phone numbers, and how they like their coffee.

Tunred it in to the AMTRAK police. No worries.
