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.

It seems to me this is a burden being placed on the wrong shoulders. There is not an It system in the world that can stop an individual taking information in their heads and spewing out at the nearest undesirable third party.
