Piles of private documents found dumped in public bins

Posted on September 27, 2013 by Dissent

Robert Maxwell reports:

Thousands of private financial documents were discovered sitting in a wide open community recycling dumpster on Thursday.

KXAN received a ReportIt tip late Thursday morning that the dumpster was full of personal documents from a local home builder.

We discovered home loans, copies of personal checks, purchase orders and site plans all on display in several large bins on several school campuses.

KXAN is not identifying the locations until the documents are secure.

The paperwork dates back to 2000 and include stacks of personal loan papers for new homes in Killeen, where the deals closed in 2005.

Read more on KXAN. The papers were dumped by an employee of DR Horton.
