Losing your documents was careless (they are probably in someone elses file) but hardly criminal. If someone from a mortgage company wanted to steal your identity, they already know your Social Security number, birth date, bank account numbers, etc. As a mortgage broker, we had to be licensed, hold a bond, prove a certain net worth, and run complete background checks on our employees, as they did have access to such information. I never knew of an ID theft from a mortgage company employee – its possible, but not likely.
