I called a few years back and had them removed from all of my credit card statements. They can be picked out of mailboxes and used in identity theft very easily.

CNBC had a special the other day on people who steal identities. One of their favorite tricks is to pick those checks out of mailboxes and use them. According to the special, there is a high correlation between meth addiction and identity theft. Many addicts use identity theft to get their next fix. Sad stories for all involved.
