Lost credit card receipts from a Texas gym and health store catering to military personnel were recently discovered in dozens of plastic bags next to a dumpster at a self-storage facility.

A customer noticed the bags, which contained receipts complete with account numbers, expiration dates and cardholder signatures from purchases at Force Fitness, which has three locations on military bases. Each bag was labeled with a month and year. Many of the receipts were dated for more than four years ago.

In a written statement, the attorney representing Force Fitness claims the credit card receipts were lost during a recent move. The letter did not indicate how long ago the receipts were lost, or when the company first became aware they were missing. The matter is now under military investigation.
