A government laptop computer containing the names, Social Security numbers
and payroll information of roughly 16,000 Army Training and Doctrine
Command civilian employees was stolen this month from an employee's vehicle
parked outside her home, Army officials announced Monday.

The Training and Doctrine Command, or TRADOC, is headquartered at Fort
Monroe in Hampton [Virginia]. The theft occurred near Fort Lee, a TRADOC
Army base near Petersburg.

While the data on the computer included payroll information, Army officials
said the database didn't contain bank account or bank routing numbers.
