One would have to assume the bods at the MSA (Motor Sports Association) have never heard of Identity Theft...

Otherwise they might not send out parcels which state in big bold type on the front "Your license is in here". They actually use the address part of the license shown in a window as the postal address. With things as they are these days, is that REALLY a good idea?

The licenses require a photo, but you have to attach that yourself. So if anyone intercepted the license, they would be free to impersonate you, or use it for other nefarious purposes.

Luckily, Karen's license arrived un-molested yesterday, but it did rather alarm us how shockingly naive the MSA are being.
