Apparently this is done for identity fraud.

Apart from the obvious value of the records on the ID market, the possibility occurred to me that it's to prevent  identification by dental records of someone they killed.

Off-mainstream, but could be a plot element in a future cop TV show.  So have at it, fictioneers !  (All you have to do is figure out how to deal with the plot hole of most of this data being on computer records as well.)

I find it highly amusing that by now, just everybody has the last four digits of my social security number (my "soash"), my DOB,  the "security number" on the back of my credit card, my mother's maiden name, my father's middle name, my best friend's first name, all of which "everybody" asks for.  So what security value actually exists in those facts?

Last I heard somewhere was that an ID package with name, SSN, BD was worth at least $1000 if you knew where to sell it. I remember being surprised it wasn’t more. A stack of same could be real money.
