John Barr, general sales manager at Findlay Toyota, said, "This is a chance for everyone to protect their valued name from the identity theft that is going on in the valley. We are the luckiest people in the world and we should all work to protect our good name ."

There is a limit of four boxes per person. There is no cost for the service.
