The U.S. consulate in Israel held an auction in December 2005 to get rid of old furniture and reportedly sold cabinets containing hundreds of files with Social Security numbers of U.S. Marines and state department staff stationed in Israel. The files also included U.S. State Department bank account numbers and documents tracking the U.S. funding of local political movements. Among the files was a dossier marked "Secret" detailing an encounter between a U.S. Marine and a young Israeli woman in a Jerusalem hotel bar.
The woman who bought the filing cabinets, an American-Israeli, recently returned them to U.S. control but only after the Israeli police intervened and threatened her with unspecified charges.
