Why???

If it was NECESSARY to have a laptop why was it not secured to a fixed point?
Was it necessary for them to have been easliy stealable laptops rather than basic desktop workstations working to a server containing the information?
Why were laptops (or any other computers) left in unattended and insecure office areas?
Are the persons in whose charge they were going to re-imburse the taxpayers the cost of the equipment they allowed to be stolen? They can claim on their own insurances.
Seems to me that there is a lot of indolence and irresponsibility in that organisation. Perhaps the management should get out of its offices and get around.
