Ordered Necktie, Received Trove of SocSec Numbers Instead

Incompetence like this always irks me more than deliberate ID theft.
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — With a little more than two weeks to go before their wedding, Emily Dreyfuss' fiance ordered a tie and pocket square from Gap chain Banana Republic's website to go with his Navy blue suit.
What the couple got in the mail instead on Thursday would make an identity thief giddy: the confidential files of about 20 former employees, including Social Security numbers and W4 tax forms.

Sheesh, they aren't even married yet and the fiancé doesn't even have a name?
