stlkr tip

I left my wallet at work a few days ago. Other than the great inconvenience it caused, I am sure it wasn't safe to leave there. I know I would notice if something was missing, and it would not be that hard to figure out the culprit. But, someone could easily steal information about me if they wanted. Like where I live for example.
I am not really worried, most people at work already know that.

But, I have been noticing how careless people are with there private information. Like at the bus stop it takes them a few second to search for exact change, or at the shop counter anywhere. And as they do that they flip open their wallets with their cards in full view. So if someone was really looking, in those few seconds they could, from a drivers license, find out a persons name, age, address etc.

I tried to see if it is enough time to retain that information for a few minutes, until you have a place to write it down. And people are slow at finding change so there is plenty of time to memorize their personal information. Although it is usually upside down.

I dont know, just something I noticed.
