Should I ask for it back?

In Laws asked when visiting us for copy of our daughter’s social security card a couple of years ago b/c they were setting up a 529 college fund for her. I gave them the copy, but now I’ve found out that they never lock the door to their house. The live in a rural, remote, sparsely populated area (town of about 300 people), but they live in a neighborhood that has house break ins ( I read this in their neighborhood newsletter which is available online…it reports among other things, crimes in the area, kind of like a neighborhood watch)….fortunately they have never had a house break in (yet?!)…would you be concerned? Daughter is only 2, and I can’t get free credit report without sending a truckload (which is good) of identification papers to the 3 credit bureaus….I thought of asking for the copy of her card back, but it’s been 2 years and they would probably be offended if I asked for it back…..do you think I should ask for the copy back anyway & would they be justified in
being offended if I did ask for it back? Am I overreacting in my concern of possible ID theft?

If I were your in laws, I wouldnt feel offended if you tell me you are in need of that paper because you need a lot of identification papers for 3 credit bureaus. You can tell them you can give it back to them… maybe by the time you get everything, they would have forgotten about the issue, and wont ask for it anymore!
