I've had two friends go through a case of identity theft, one online and one due to throwing out a cheque book. Even fixing computers for people you can't help but be amazed at what some people leave lying around. A quick education on it would go an awful long way! But I know that, if I didn't know what I was doing, I wouldn't mind forking out a few euro for peace of mind. Good to hear.

I think that "wipe while you wait" service would definitely be beneficial.
