New York police on Thursday said the loss also involved data tapes belonging to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. It was reported by the driver while his van was parked outside a VA hospital in the Bronx. The records storage company, Boston-based Iron Mountain Inc., subsequently confirmed the loss also involved records of another customer besides the railroad, but declined to confirm whether the customer was the VA.
