I still have more questions than answers to this caper. How did someone get my credit-card and Social Security numbers? What else does he know about me? What precautions could I have taken to prevent it? I'm sure of only one thing: I'm buying a shredder.

Personal invitation: my identity thief is welcome to write this column next week. Please e-mail me at bstone@newsweek.com.
