They can be used for identity theft, and they are personal and important documents for us - a lot of people keep them in firesafe boxes in case their houses burn down, lol.

I'm a big Stevie and FM collector, and I have many photos and things all over my house, but it would never occur to me to want a copy of her birth certificate. There's no reason for me to have that, and unlike a photo or an album cover, it's not something she's released into the world for us all to admire. It's a private thing.

I'm not judging you, and I can't speak for the others that found it creepy, but that's why the idea makes ME uncomfortable.

I find it a bit weird too. No offense..but I agree too that it's a private thing, and how Stevie's birth certificate even got out there in the first place just boggles my mind. How do people get a hold of these things they have no business having in their possession in the first place? It's just scary as I agree that these things can be used for idendity theft. I wonder if Stevie's even aware that a copy of her birth certificate is on the loose somewhere? I think she would be more than a little creeped out by it. I know I would be...if it were me.
