Legality and Reality, two separate, albeit related entities.  If a company 
just carelessly throws out sensitive info into a dumpster, they deserve 
whatever might happen...  I would be more concerned about medical trash or 
other hazardous waste in those things.  Hepatitis can live outside the body 
for a week.  A gold bar isn't worth your liver!

Similarly, one should always look at receipts and such before tossing them.  
If it has any of your credit/check card info on it, burn it or shred it 
first, and always shred those offers for credit as well.

I've found some cool stuff in trash areas, old TV's, microwaves, magazines 
and even cash!  Just be careful.
