Sell the company and just dump the employees' files in a dumpster...  
oh yeah, that works for me...

Several employees of Telesource said they climbed into the Dumpster to  
retrieve the documents.

The employees said their company had just been bought out by another  
company called Vekstar, and that the office at U.S. 31 and Shelby  
Street was being cleaned out and shut down.

"I found all the employees' files with all the personal information  
with them," said Stephanie Stewart. "It had their Social Security  
numbers and date of birth. There were photocopies of driver's  
licenses, photocopies of Social Security cards."
