Abstract
While investigating the theft of a laptop stolen from the University of Toledo's student recreation center in late June, campus police discover that the laptop contained the names and Social Security numbers on at least 30 students and an unknown number of staff members. The university began sending out letters to students and staff letting them know how to protect themselves against Identity Theft. The laptop was stolen from the office of Judith Campbell, the assistant director of the recreation center. According to Ms. Campbell, the office was locked but the door often does not always close. In addition, campus lifeguards often use Ms. Campbell's office as a shortcut to the stairwell.
