Absolutely. I'm constantly nagging my dad to shred offers that come to him in the mail. He throws them in the recycle bin as is and I've warned him that it can be taken out of the trash and
used by some identity thief to get a credit card in his name.
I have been shredding by hand, but skigurl gave me a great idea - I have a confidential shredding bin at the office that could definitely handle the stupid credit card checks that Citibank
loves to send me.
I don't shred anything, but I'm a student, so I hardly get any mail that would require it, nor do I have access to a shredder.. I get my bank statements online, and if I should happen to get
anything with more details than my name + address on it in the mail, I'd tear it up. Plus, I live in a country where identity theft is (for now?) fairly uncommon and credit card offers in the
mail aren't that commonplace.

2Our shredder gets a weekly workout; everything with identity gets shredded.
3I bring the documents to work and shred them here.
4I don't own a shreeder, but I rip it to a bloody pulp, ha!
5shredder* gah, I can't spell on Monday's.
6Of course! You don't want your private info to get out there.
7I am a shredder fiend! Best invention ever.
8Just call me parnoid. I put everything in the shredder even junk mail.
9absolutely - everything that has any information about me will get torn up into little pieces so there's no way that someone could take my identity!
10I used the points I earned from my citi debit card to purchase a shedder from Best Buy we shredder everything that has our personal information.
11i rip most things up myself- i don't own a shredder. its prob not as good but its something!
12no, i'm very irresponsible when it comes to stuff like this, and will admit it
13My workplace has a shedder so I usually use that.
14If I don't have access to a shredder, I take a sharpie over all of the personal info and then rip it to shreds.
15I have been shredding by hand, but skigurl gave me a great idea - I have a confidential shredding bin at the office that could definitely handle the stupid credit card checks that Citibank loves to send me.
16I'm a compulsive shredder, but even with all my shredding, I've already been a victim of identity theft. Guess you can never be too careful.

18I hold on to certain things with important information but I shred most things. The majority of bank related stuff comes via computer
19I used to shred like everything until my shedder broke!
