There have been two such instances of disks, laptops or storage devices that were lost or stolen. One instance involved the loss of a Blackberry device, which contained some emails and contact information. All contents were immediately remotely deleted upon report of loss. The other instance involved the theft of a laptop from the locked car of an officer from my Department. This laptop contained personal information.
