Abstract
University of New Mexico officials announced the theft of three desktop computers from the University's Associate Provost's Office. The Provost's Office notified all faculty members of the theft on Jan 9 and suggested they take precautionary steps to guard against ID theft. However, UNM officials do not believe any personal information or Social Security numbers were on the stolen computers. These computers were taken shortly after the office moved across the building and the office is still not setup adding to the confusion. Lt. Pat Davis, of the UNM Police, said that it is unlikely the computers contained any personal information but the University would rather err on the side of caution at this point.
