We Get Letters...

"Honey? You have a letter from the Secretary of Veterans Affairs..."

Sweet geez, what now...

"The Department of Veterans affairs (VA) has recently learned that an employee took home electronic data from the VA, which he was not authorized to do and was in violation of established policies. The employee's home was burglarized and this data was stolen. The data containedidentifying information including names, sopcial security numbers, and dates of birth for up to 26.5 million veterans andsome spouses...

Approproate law enforcement agencies, including the FBI and the VA Inspector General's office have launched full-scale investigations into this matter. Authorities believe it is unlikely the perpetrators targeted the items because of any knowledge of the data contents.

Out of an abundance of caution, however, VA is taking all possible steps to protect and inform our veterans...

In accordance with current policy, the Internal Revenue Service has agreed to forward this letter because we do not have current addresses for all affected individuals..."

Sweet shit on a shingle. Now the IRS is involved. But of course the VA doesn't have our addresses...

THEY WERE STOLEN YOU IDIOTS.

And sure, I believe that the dude took the work home and by random chance it was then stolen.

By the tooth fairy, I'm sure.
