Should I be worried? My flatmate's iphone was stolen today at work. Worryingly, her saved emails contained the following information:
our address
our rental agreement
my name, bank account number and sort code (fortunately though my bank account is still registered at my last address)
Should I be seriously concerned about any of this?
I'm pretty sure the only thing someone could do with my bank details is set up a direct debit, but isn't a fraudulent direct debit recoverable?
The flatmate is also worried that we'll get burgled because thieves might now have our address, but I don't see how knowing the address of a particular property makes it any more appealing to a burgler.
So, is there anything I can or should do to reduce any potential risk?
