Then politely gave each of them a paper with their social security numbers, and credit card numbers. They were shocked, their voices carried so far, and clearly that anyone could have written down their personal info during phone calls, they made in their lanai.
Fair warning, be careful while outside when giving out your info during a phone call, someone may not be so honest.

Great neighborly justure. Most people don't think about their voices traveling when outside in their lanais for sure.
Side note, as a former irs agent, perhaps he could call the social security head-quarters and remind them that allowing 2 billion social security numbers to be breached isn't exacly responsible (a little published headline). Bring back the days of old when corruption wasn't rampid. It's so sad.
