Caterpillar Inc. said late Friday that a laptop computer containing
personal data on employees was stolen from a benefits consultant that works
with the company.

Caterpillar spokesman Rusty Dunn declined to provide many details Friday.

"This is an open investigation and we're not prepared to get into any
specifics," Dunn said.

He said one laptop computer was stolen earlier this month, but didn't say
where the theft took place or identify the consultant.

Dunn declined to say how many employees were affected. He said the majority
are based in the U.S. and letters have been sent to notify them. Dunn said
a call center is being established to take their inquiries.
