#1 I worked in downtown DC for six months for a large, quazi-governmental agency. After a couple of days in my office, I noticed an old laptop in a pile of papers on the bottom shelf of the back bookcase. I left it there, in cast the previous owner came back for it.

Months later, the IT department was looking for several unaccounted-for computers. The laptop on my office had a serial number waaaay older than anything they were looking for. I responded to the e-mail with the information on the laptop, but no one responded.

Maybe it had secret stuff on it, too? Scary, eh?

#2 Where I work, the security folks twice in 6 months lost a laptop with SSNs and other personal date. Management sprung into action, punishing everyone who didn't do anything by forcing us to take training on private data.

#3 Greetings to my fellow employee, Jackal! I seem to recall it was HR, not security. But no matter. To work in either department you have to fail a basic logic/intelligence test. Total morons, top to bottom.
