Confidential files fly out the window

New York City office workers who got carried away during the Yankees victory parade Friday apparently began tossing files and documents out the window when they couldn’t get their hands on confetti.

Auditor Damian Salo attended the Manhattan parade. He told The New York Post he found all sorts of personal financial documents in the mountains of shredded paper tossed from skyscrapers as the players rode up Broadway.

“We’re finding pay stubs. We’re finding personal financial information. We found a balance sheet of someone’s trust fund showing $300,000 in stock,” Salo told the Post.

Other intact documents included banking data, law firm memos and even some court files.

The founder of one financial firm, Alan Sarroff, says his company reprimanded one “overzealous” employee for throwing records out the window that should have been shredded.

If your financial information is stolen, blame the Yankees. If court files are missing, blame the Yankees. Banking data? Yankees’ fault.

Or not.

At least firing everybody who threw confidential documents out the window should create lots of jobs.

Or that every current Yankee playing at the time was on the list. It would be the best story in the history of the universe.

Don't get so excited, Walt. I have it on excellent authority the "someone" is Jeff Wilpon, and three years ago, the balance sheet showed it was worth $700,300,000. ;-)
