Back to old-fashioned disclosure. The postman a couple of years ago
delivered to us a Credit card bill and the address was clearly visible. It
was for a family who lived about half a mile away. We live in a very rural
area and the whole neighbourhodd wondered how they lived as they did - boat,
horses, flash cars, etc etc despite having been bankrupt several
times............. I put it back in the postbox unopened as I hope most
people would. How does this compare with losing a laptop or putting the
wrong letter in the wrong envelope - which I bet a machine did anyway.
