Thousands of KB Home customers are being warned of the risk of identity 
theft after one of the home builder's computers was stolen from a 
Charleston sales office.

The company sent letters to 2,700 people Friday advising them to put a 
fraud alert on their credit reports and to monitor their credit for the 
next couple of years.

...

The stolen computer likely had names, addresses and Social Security 
numbers only of people who had visited the sales office for Foxbank 
Plantation, a new home community in Berkeley County near Charleston, said 
Jeff Meyer, division president for KB Home South Carolina.
