From CNN: Census Bureau loses hundreds of laptops:

The Census Bureau, the main collector of information about Americans, lost 672 computers. Of those, 246 contained some personal data, the department said in a statement. However, no personal information from any of the missing computers has been known to have been improperly used, the department said.
…and…
More than 30,000 laptops were used within the department’s 15 operating units since 2001, the department said, and a total of 1,137 were stolen or missing.
