NEW YORK (AP) Manhattan office workers who got carried away
during the Yankees victory parade Friday apparently began tossing
files and documents out the window when they couldn't get their
hands on confetti.
Auditor Damian Salo attended the parade. He tells The New York
Post he found all sorts of personal financial documents in the
mountains of shredded paper tossed from skyscrapers as the players
rode up Broadway.
They included pay stubs, banking data, law firm memos and even
some court files.
The founder of one financial firm, Alan Sarroff, says his
company reprimanded one ''overzealous'' employee for throwing
records out the window that should have been shredded.
Ticker-tape parades on Broadway are a New York tradition.
