http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2008/09/03/MN8F12NM56.DTL Thieves stole 10 desktop computers containing employees' personal information Tuesday night from the Oakland school district's main office on 2nd Avenue, district official said today. The computers were located in the 2nd floor Human Resources Department and appear to be the only equipment stolen. The burglary is believed to have occurred at about 11 p.m., with the suspects scaling a rear wall and using wire cutters to get through a metal window screen, said district spokesman Troy Flint. Workers arriving this morning discovered the theft. Most of the equipment stolen were Dell desktop hard drives. District officials were still determining what information was on each computer, but said that they contained personal information provided to the district when employees are hired. It was unknown today how many employees' records were on the computers.
