Thousands of Laptops Stolen During Nine-Hour Heist from Government Contractor

July 14th, 2010 Via: AP:
Thousands of laptops have been stolen from the Florida office of a private contractor for the U.S. military’s Special Operations Command.
Surveillance cameras caught up to seven people loading the computers into two trucks for nine hours.
U.S. Special Operations Command coordinates the activities of elite units from the Army, Navy, Air Force and Marines. A spokeswoman said Tuesday that none of the stolen laptops contained military information or software.
The Virginia-based company iGov was awarded a $450 million contract earlier this year to supply mobile technology services linking special operations troops worldwide. A company executive says iGov is cooperating with authorities and the March 6 break-in at its Tampa facility remains under investigation.

That's one to follow...but my guess is this story will just disappear, as have the laptops. Now who would have access to such a facility, which is surely secure and likely guarded by security devices and perhaps human guards.....?! Hostile act or inside job? Looking for information - they all likely have exactly the same info - so why take them all? - more likely to remove something someone doesn't want on all of them.....making me think an inside job made to look like a theft.
