Automatic Teller Machines (ATMs) and the Law
If you don’t save them, should you be careful of how you dispose transaction slips?
Yes. Leave ATM slips you don't want to keep at the site only if there is a deep, completely secure place to toss them—ideally, after you've torn them thoroughly. Otherwise take them with you. It's no one's business how much money is in your account, or for that matter that you have "insufficient funds for the requested transaction." And some receipts also contain your account number and other numbers from which clever techno-thiefs can "clone" your card.
