What do I do, if anything: my eye doctor's computers were stolen and all of his customer information was on them. This included my social secutirty number (or my mom and deceased father's at least), health insurance, name, address, phone, but NOT any credit card numbers (thank God). Help!

I think you can call social security and have them flag your number, Have your mom do the same for herself and your dad. If they have your ss#, DOB and address they have all they need to steal your identity. Meaning they can open accounts in your name use them and then not pay leaving you liable because they used your social. It costs you money and time to clear all of this up. The number to ss is 1-800-772-1213.

Sign up with one of the credit bureaus for a credit watch service that will inform you if any changes are made to your credit report. Continue to closely monitor your credit for at least the next year. If your mom's SS# was included, have her do the same.

You can also get a free credit report from each of the big three bureaus once a year at https://www.annualcreditreport.com/cra/index.jsp
I suggest you use your freebie from a different one every three months just as a general rule of indentity security.
