SARASOTA - Reams of personal information - Social Security numbers, 
driver's license numbers - have been found carelessly dumped in a 
Sarasota dumpster.

Police say someone at the Westaff Employment staffing company on U.S. 
301 in Sarasota apparently tossed it out.  The business appears to be 
closed.

Some employees of a nearby hair salon found the papers when they went to 
throw the trash out.  They could clearly see tax forms, employment 
applications and social security and drivers license numbers.  "As a 
business owner, as a citizen, as a mother...as anybody that's not just 
paperwork, we're told all our lives shred, shred, shred.  That should 
have been shredded.  There's free shredding services..there's no 
excuse," says hairstylist Anita Rence.

Police say the company broke no laws by dumping the personal documents 
in the trash.

Police will take possession of the dumpster and properly dispose of all 
of those documents.  They also urge anyone who has filed an application 
with Westaff over the past four years to get a credit check.
