Why did someone take our paper recycling?

We live off of North St., and this afternoon we put our paper recycling out on the curb in a paper shopping bag. A couple of hours later, the whole bag was gone. Is there a legitimate reason that someone would have wanted it, or is someone up to identity theft shenanigans?

Phone your credit card companies and ask them to contact you about any purchases over $(you pick a number). They don't like fraud because it costs them money to chase down.

Amex will let you do this automatically from their web site. They will send you an email if you make any purchases above $x amount.
