#1 MoD had better have a bunch of 'buyers' out there pretending to be AQ looking to obtain these laptops from the common street criminals who probably stole them.

#2 The latest laptop was stolen from the car of a Royal Navy officer left unattended overnight in the Edgbaston area of Birmingham

Were the others whose laptops were stolen equally stupid?

#3 Why in the hell was he able to take the laptop out of a secured area.
This happened to me just last year, with my info along with thousands of others info through work in a laptop that was stolen out of a car. Putting us all at risk.
This being military and personal soldiers info escalates the danger all the more. Mine was a more financial worry, not life, death or national security.
This sort of thing needs to be stopped, and the guy who took it and left it in his car needs to be repremanded.
Measures need to be placed so that this can't happen again.
