NBC 9 News (Colorado): Dentist Leaves Patient Information in Outside Trashcan

LONGMONT - Medical records that contained patients' private information have now been secured after 9NEWS warned a Longmont dentist that the non-shredded documents were sitting in a publically accessible trash can.
The documents were found Sunday morning by a man looking for scrap metal in downtown Longmont. Stan Harvey called 9NEWS after finding the documents because he was concerned someone could use them to steal the patients' information.
