Did you file a police report?

You can get a copy of your credit report from the 3 credit reporting bureaus (TransUnion, Equifax, and Experian) and see if any new accounts were open.  You can get a free copy of your credit report from http://www.annualcreditreport.com

Go in person to the closest social security office in your city and fill out papers for a lost/stolen social security card.

Go to the police department and file a stolen personal property report.  This will cover you if someone decides to use your ID for something illegal.
