Our personal computer was stolen by a family member and sold to a computer store, this computer had financial and personal info on it, what do we do to protect ourselves

Answer: 

Anytime you’ve been a victim of a crime, you should report it to the local authorities. In order to protect yourself, you will need to visit somewhere you can get a computer with Internet access and log into any sensitive accounts (e.g. bank accounts, email, online stores etc) and change your password. If you did have your login information saved on your computer, you want to make sure this will all be changed.

If you had any finaincial statements or bills saved on your computers, make sure you contact the bank or company and have them monitor your account for any fraudulent activity.
