Following is the tax tale that started it all (and a link to that historic thread). http://groups.google.ca/group/can.legal/msg/892d8a28a998e4?q=alan+baggett&start=140&hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&scoring=d&rnum=142 I was told a slightly different version of this tale (link above) by Gladstone Sue of the Toronto West TSO (Mississauga). The theft all Canada's Social Insurance Numbers took place (allegedly by one Andreas Hackner) in the early 1980's BC 'Before Computer' at the Toronto Office before Toronto was subdivided into 4 offices. The culprit was a very close friend of Gladstone Sue explaining why he knows these intimate details. Mr. Kelly Bert Manning wrote that the employee was disgruntled which is why he stole the fiche but that is not quite accurate. Gladstone says that Andreas wanted to start a business locating individuals that had lost or forgotten bank accounts. Information on dormant bank accounts is published and he was going to charge a fee to reunite them. The question was however 'How would he be able to quickly and easily locate the individuals?' There were lots of ways but the easiest way was via Revenue Canada microfiche. The microfiche holds everything names, SIN's and most importantly - current addresses of all Canadians (as long as they are filed up to date). One day (on his day off I was told) Andreas walked into the Toronto office dumped the fiche and reader into a garbage bag and walked out. He was fingered because someone remembered that he was in the office on his day off. The last place the average Civil Servant would be found on his day off, the Union frowns on it. When they questioned Andreas he admitted up. And the result? The Toronto Director and Head of Security were canned. And Mr. Hackner? He got six months in jail. Apparently he told his grandma that he was quitting his job and was taking a vacation (so as not to upset her). I know lots of interesting stories about Revenue Canada and the CCRA. Would this be a good venue to air some of them? (With names of course) (Here's another tickler here) http://groups.google.ca/group/can.taxes/browse_frm/thread/d26443436f7a7e37/45f3f57f900386dd?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&rnum=1&prev=/groups%3Fhl%3Den%26lr%3D%26ie%3DISO-8859-1%26q%3Dvinay%2Bsarna%26meta%3D#45f3f57f900386dd ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Miss a Tax Tale Miss a lot!
