Actually, the issue of printouts *is* a problem for home users - 
dumpster diving
is a major source of identity theft.  The single biggest leakage 
is all those
credit card applications you turned down, just due to the sheer 
volume.  However,
if the diver can score a printout from your online banking, 
they're probably golden,
because then they have name, address, and probably account number 
all right there.
