Re: American Family Insurance Warns Customers OfIdentity Theft

Does it have the "investigation" cut-out that California's does? In
California, you can not report if reporting would negatively impact an
ongoing criminal investigation. I've seen that used once to bury a loss
for quite a while (in fact, it may still be buried).

Hmm.

Wisconsin's notification law (http://www.legis.state.wi.us/2005/data/
acts/05Act138.pdf) says that notice should take place within 45 days.
This theft was in July.

These guys may have cut it rather close.
