Road ID: What do you wear? (Page 2)

"Your search - xxxxxxxxx - did not match any documents." 

Tried multiple forms of it.

My concern about the SSN number wouldn't be so much that I'd be attacked or someone might strip it off my unconscious body, but rather that I'd leave it at the gym by accident, or it might be stolen with my bag out of my car, or something along those lines.  Kind of like don't write your pin number down and stick it in your wallet.  You don't plan to lose your wallet, but you never know.

Regarding ankle vs. wrist for finding information, general passerbys might not think of it but I'm pretty sure that most emergency responders are trained that ankle id's are a possibility on athletes.  Anyone out there who can confirm this?  Smokeater?

It'll be found when they remove your clothing and/or are ensuring circulation isn't restricted.

If it's attached to you, it'll be hard to miss.  If it's on a card in your bike pouch, it's less likely to make the trip with you in the ambulance.

I have shoe pocket (that came in a bag of freebies) on my right running shoe that I keep $5.00/key in when I go for a run. When I started running around my neighboorhood (~1.5 miles on roads where the cars go 45+), I started keeping a waterproof 8.5x5.5 sheet of paper with

Name
Address
Insurance Company
Insurance number
Blood Type
3 Emergency Contacts (father, mother, brother)

I need to update the card to reflect changes in address and will include a family friend on the list of emergency contacts.

I probably ought to do the same when I go biking - normally I carry DL and insurance card in bike pouch...

 Out of curiosity, I googled mine and no matches were found. I'm actually not that concerned about theft, but just thought I'd check it out.

As long as we are on the topic of identity theft...did you know you can get a free credit report from 3 major agencies for FREE once a year? No catch. http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/conline/edcams/freereports/index.html

I did this today and found a credit card on there that I never applied for. I would have been 15 years old at the time...I entered a dispute on 2 sites so I am hoping it will disappear. Luckily the person with the card has been paying their bill.

Yeah, ok, I posted about road ID two months ago and marmaiamthehammerandi'mwatchinghangloosewhenjim'snotaroundtocausetroubledaddy pulled the thread in ten seconds because it was too commercial. 

Ok, my whining is over because I do not want to be turned into a minnow.  

Seriously, is Ron looking into this?  Should I hold off on ordering so I can do it through BT's website?  Marma?  Ron?  Thoughts?

 actually there is a catch...pulling your credit report will decrease your credit score.

rather just sign up for American Express' credit watch.  any changes to your credit reports and they send you notification of what it is and also help you if your identity is stolen.

With my Luck I'll need one of these things.

Thinking of getting the ankle:
