7/13/05 The personal information of 57000 Blue Cross Blue Shield of Arizona customers was stolen from a Phoenix based Managed care company.

5/23/06 The names and personal information of more than 26 million veterans was recently stolen from the home of a Veterans Affairs employee when a burglar stole a laptop.

3/29/05 A University of California, Berkeley computer laptop containing information on nearly 100,000 alumni was stolen from an office.

6/23/06 US Federal Trade Commission reports two laptop computers containing personal data of 110 people was stolen from a locked vehicle.
