JOHNSTOWN, Pa. -- Hundreds of Social Security numbers, addresses and phone numbers were made available to the public at a local business.

Channel 6 News received a call stating there were boxes of employee applications sitting in the public restroom at the Family Video store in Geistown.

After some investigating, Channel 6 News uncovered the documents in the bathroom.

The documents contained the personal information of people who applied for jobs at the video store.

After tracking down some of the potential victims, they told Channel 6 News that the business violated their privacy.

"I'm very upset, why would they keep files in a public bathroom for everyone to go in there and steal my identity and get into my bank account, it's ridiculous," Santa Capagna said.

Family Video's Corporate offices said the situation is a big mistake and they will have the documents removed immediately.

The Pennsylvania Attorney Generals Office said the company did not violate any laws by having the documents in the restroom, but they could become liable in the future if a case of identity theft arose out of the situation.
