Paper Shredders

Security is the buzzword of the 21st Century. Electronics have connected almost everyone to the world; unfortunately, office electronics and home and office equipment have also connected the world to everyone. One unlikely hero in this cyber-war is the paper shredder. Another hero is Overstock.com, where security equipment is a steal! (So to speak.) Paper shredders, whether it's an office shredder or a personal shredder, is a simple device. It chops up paper, CDs, credit cards and other stuff you don't want people pulling out of your trash to read.

Shredders come in two types: The strip shredder and crosscut shredder or chip shredder. The strip shredder cuts paper into long strips; the chip shredder chops it into confetti. Strip shredders tend to be less expensive; chip shredders do a better job. People have actually taken shredder strips and put them back together. Only the CIA has the patience to take crosscut shredder output and puzzle it back to readability. (Of course, if the CIA is looking at you--you have a big problem!)

Seriously, thieves are lazy; they hit easy marks. Don't be one and they'll probably leave you alone. Make sure you have office shredders for work and a paper shredder at home. While you're at it, browse Overstock.com's security safes. Few people still hide their security safe behind a painting, but smart people keep extra keys, guns, insurance policies and other important items under lock and key.
