Brittany Pieper reports that the City of Shreveport, Louisiana left lots of personal and sensitive information lying around when they held a pre-demolition auction of furnishings at the City Hall Annex building. People found boxes of records with breath alcohol tests, signatures, SSNs, addresses, ID cards, and a whole lot more.
KSLA News 12 asked city leaders why this information was left out, and discovered they didn’t know it was there.
“No, that’s not good at all,” said Director of Operational Services, Mike Strong.
“I would never be comfortable with anyone’s personal information being available or accessible,” said Mayor Cedric Glover.
