DUMPSTER DIVER DIGS DESPERATE DIVA'S DICEY PHOTOS, DEDUCTIONS

October 30, 2006

Now we know why the Housewives are Desperate. The shredder is jammed.

A Los Angeles trash picker claims to have unearthed 200 nude photos of Desperate Housewives actress Marcia Cross from her household garbage. He also claims to have copies of her tax returns. Now he's holding them for ransom - the pictures, anyway.

You might say we all should have such problems, but if you aren't careful with your confidential personal information, you'll find it's not so much fun. An identity thief can wreak havoc with your financial life with the information from your old returns, or with your old bank and credit card statements.

A good shredder is an important household appliance nowadays. Get one and use it for your excess tax returns tax returns. Same goes for your surplus nude pictures. Or, if you look like Marcia Cross, just forward them to your CPA for safekeeping.
