Prepaid credit card gift cards and Identity theft question?

You know those prepaid credit card gift cards you see in walgreens and what not? Is it possible for identity theft to occur because I throw a lot of those cards out in my trash can. They are registered so they have my name, address, phone number, city, zip code and card number. If identity theft is possible, how can I prevent it without resorting to a credit card shredder?

You should run a heavy duty magnet along the strip before you throw it out or shred it in a cross shredder. Good Luck!
