I would call MS- Member Administration and voice my concerns.
Even if your membership number (not just a legal description or contract number) should appear on the deed (it does not appear on mine), then the other party could make a reservation, but you would still be notified of any transactions by mail- and thus would have some recourse.
I would certainly insist on some assurance from Member Administration that they will safeguard you from any possible problems due to their error, but the likelyhood of any problems is very small, IMO. Good Luck!
Member number is NOT on the deed. My contract number was on my deed's margin, if my memory is correct. keep in mind the other member would be an idiot if he tried to use this information, as any reservations would still be mailed to you, and if they tried to use the ressie, they would be caught.

The first thing MS will ask for is your membership number- before they will check anything else for you. If don't know it, they could look it up, but will ask for SS#.
I think you are safe, since the membership number is NOT normally on the deed. Usually the deed has lot numbers and legal description of the property, but not any membership information. Again, you will always receive written confirmation by mail of any transactions for your account- like reservations, cancellations, banking, etc. I still believe you will experience no problems, but would still ask Administration for some comforting words!
Pluto, I'm assuming DVC called you and told you what had happened to the deed. If there were any way for that person to make a reservation I would assume DVC would have a "note" in the computer system not to accept it and/or ask for further ID such as the SS #. Of course, "assume" nothing. I'd give DVC a call just to give yourself complete piece of mind.
we did talk to disney management..they contacted the member who recieved our deed..he is willing to mail it directly to us. have not recieved it .has been 6 days.. ms sent me a copy.we have not brought up the reservation issue yet..
