A laptop stolen from a payroll auditor contains personal information on
12,000 current and former Armstrong World Industries Inc. employees,
the company said.

The data include home addresses and phone numbers, Social Security
numbers and how much the people were paid. A two-page letter sent by
Armstrong last week said the company was not aware of any misuse of the
information, and that a password was required to access the information
on the computer.

The laptop was stolen from a locked car belonging to a Deloitte &
Touche LLP employee, Armstrong said. Deborah G. Harrington, a
spokeswoman for the consulting firm, declined to comment.
