Re "Standing face to face with her thief," Column One, Sept. 22
Earlier this year, someone got hold of my credit card number and used it to order merchandise online from a clothing store. The store knew where it was shipped, but refused to tell me because it said it protects the privacy of its customers -- even if someone else's credit card was used in the transaction. I took my story to the police, where the advice was: Guard your Social Security number.
