OR: Sales files of PDX boat firm left in Dumpster

Posted on May 23, 2010 by Dissent

A tip to KGW led to the discovery of a Dumpster full of personal financial information of past customers of Staff Jennings boats in Southwest Portland.

Some files went back 20 years, including a boat purchased by David Moravik, who called the carelessness “unprofessional.”

Better Business Bureau spokeswoman Kyle Kavas said it’s the law for businesses to properly dispose of such records.
