One of the fastest growing crimes in today's world is that of personal identity theft which in turn has lead to the necessity for homeowners to invest in a home office paper shredder for their house, home offices or small business.

The most commonly understood type of identity theft is physical, like stealing a wallet or mail. Other forms include breaking into a house, intrusion by a "stair dancer" into the office and rummaging through trash for identity details.

There are other, less obvious means of getting hold of your personal information.
