IDENTITY: College students vulnerable to identity theft
CONTINUED FROM 1A
Capt. Schuyler Bailey of the KU Public Safety Office said young people were less likely to notice identity theft because of busy lifestyle. He said that college is a carefree age and that it may take students longer to report something stolen or missing because of their schedules.
ing because
The problem with taking time to report a stolen card is that it doesn't take long for a thief to run up a large dollar amount, Bailey said.
Banley said.
A missing card should be canceled within a few hours of its disappearance — it is worth the hassle of cancelling a credit card to save yourself from ruining your credit report, he said.
The men arrested for the
theft of Ryan's card said they found it on the street, but Ryan said she keeps her cards in her purse. At first, she didn't realize the card was missing, because she had previously decided to stop using credit cards and was trying to use only her checking account. When she couldn't find the card, she assumed her parents had taken it.
What really bothered Ryan was that no one checked the signature at any of the places the card was used.
It's important for businesses to check credit card receipts, Ward said.
"Kudos to the waitress for being on top of it," Ward said.

Another common cause of highway accidents, over-correction happens when motorists jerk the steering wheel after they have dropped a tire off the shoulder. The car is often rocketed to the opposite side of the lane. The car could hit other cars and even flip over road barriers.
Each situation is different. But one factor is constant, Eichkorn said: People who wear seat belts are more likely to survive accidents.
"Crashes are going to take place," he said. "What we can do is reduce injury and death."
Attacks, killings becoming more indiscriminate in Iraq
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BAGHDAD, Iraq — Villagers found three decapitated bodies north of Baghdad yesterday and a car bomb killed two people at an Iraqi military checkpoint south of the capital in attacks that appear to be increasingly targeting Iraqis rather than the United States and its multinational force allies.
- Edited by Jon Ralston
The bodies were found in nylon bags, the heads in bags alongside them, near Dijiel, about 25 miles north of Baghdad, said Col. Adnan Abul-Rahman of the Interior Ministry. They were all men with tattoos, including one with the letter "H" on his arm, but no documents were found on them, he said.
While insurgents have often beheaded foreign hostages in their fight against the government and coalition forces, it is not a tactic usually used against Iraqis, who are more often abducted for money.
Residents from a nearby village found the bodies shortly after dawn and notified the Iraqi national guard, said Iraqi Lt. Ahmad Farouk.
An Associated Press photographer saw the three corpses lined up with their heads by their sides on the floor at the guard compound before U.S. troops collected them and handed them over to police.
Meanwhile, militants released a Turkish man identified as
Aytulla Gezmen, an Arabic language translator who was taken hostage in late July, according to a videotape obtained by Associated Press Television News. The Turkish Foreign Ministry confirmed he had been freed.
A group calling itself The Shura Council of the Mujahedeen said in a separate video Tuesday that it was freeing Gazzeh after he converted to Islam and repented working for the Americans.
the Americas.
Huseiny Gezmen, Aytullah Gezmen's brother, told Turkey's Anatolia news agency that Gezmen called the family and was expected return home in two days. "We heard his voice for the first time in 52 days,"
Huseyin Gezmen was quoted as saying, "My brother is back from the dead."

A Jordanian transport company said yesterday it ceased to operate in Iraq in the hope of winning the release of one of its drivers, Turki Simer Khalifeh al-Breizat, kidnapped by a separate militant group. The kidnappers gave the company 48 hours to pull out.
The developments follow a surge in violence that has killed more than 200 people in the past four days in a brazen and coordinated campaign focused increasingly on the capital — the center of authority for Prime Minister Ayad Allawi and his American allies.

killing at least 20 people. The latest car bomb targeted a national guard checkpoint in Suwayrah, about 40 miles south of Baghdad, Abdul-Rahman said. One guardman was among the two dead; 10 civilians were wounded.
A police patrol in Baqouba, northeast of the capital, was also hit yesterday by an explosive device that wounded four policemen and a civilian, said police Lt. Feras Ali.
Insurgents are becoming more indiscriminate in their attacks, with a growing number of Iraqi killed as "collaborators," ana-
"It is targets of opportunity," said Judith Kipper, a Middle East expert at the U.S.-based Council on Foreign Relations.

Foreigners are also in a position to protect themselves better."

Also yesterday, 10 people were killed and six wounded in clashes between insurgents and U.S. forces in Ramadi, a predominantly Sunni Muslim city west of the capital where anti-American sentiments are high, said Saad al-Amili, a senior Health Ministry official in Baghdad.
