Pizza delivery calls used to nab deadbeats

I love this: the state of Missouri is using pizza delivery lists to track down people that owe court-imposed fines.

David Coplen, the state office's budget director, said he discovered that pizza delivery lists are one of the best sources such companies use to locate people. "There are literally millions of dollars of uncollected fines, fees and court costs out there," Coplen said. […] Databases compiled by private companies and government agencies are a key tool for firms such as ACS, Coplen said, and "one of the databases they find to be most helpful are pizza delivery databases." "When you call to order a pizza, you usually give them your correct name, your correct address and your correct phone number," he said.

Moral of the story: if you owe money to the court, use a pseudonym when ordering pizza. Link (Via IP)
