medical records; SSN's stolen in burglary :: Street value >$100,000

US military medical records stolen in burglary By John Leyden

The medical and social security records of more than 500,000 retired and serving US military personnel were stolen in a break-in last month.

Sensitive information, including names, addresses, social security numbers, and some claims information with diagnoses of US servicemen, was obtained when thieves stole computers from the corporate offices of TriWest Healthcare Alliance in Phoenix, Arizona on December 14. CRN reports that TriWest is a contractor involved in a Defense Department project to store the medical records of military personnel and their families on computer.

Defense Criminal Investigative Service, FBI and other law enforcement agencies are investigating the break-in. The DoD has placed a notice on its Web site apologising for any inconvenience the theft might cause. It has set up a help-line on 1-800-424-9098 to deal with individual concerns.

It also posted a reward of $100,000 for anyone supplying information leading to the arrests and conviction of those responsible for the crime. It's not known if anyone's personal information has been misused following the crime.
[...]

Note that the reward divided by the number of ID's means your SSN has a value of 20 cents to the DOD.
Whereas this presentation Identity Theft What Is a Name Worth?, says the average Identity Theft results in the victim loosing $18,000 dollars in fraudulent charges!

That would put a top end value of this data in the neighborhood of $9,000,000,000 or Nine Billion Dollars. !
Now no one expects that these SSN will be monetized at that value, that soon. But come on, $100,000 measly dollars when were talking about peoples lifes that can be ruined?
