Prostitutes stole a portable computer with secret software from US 
Army soldiers currently conducting military exercises in Poland. The 
computer disappeared when three programmers of the US Army invited 
prostitutes to dinner and to drink. The men fell asleep rather 
quickly. However, when they woke up in the morning, they discovered 
that their computer disappeared; in addition to the computer, the 
girls also stole a digital camera and a pair of speakers. 

The US Army HQ estimated the loss to be 120,000 dollars, about 100,000 
of the sum is the cost of the secret software. It is the theft of the 
software that actually worries army officers very much, as the 
computer contained secret information concerning the US Army. 

Military exercises are regularly held on Europe's largest training 
area, which is located in Poland. The unlucky programmers serve in the 
US Army Fifth Corps and are stationed in the Federal Republic of 
Germany. Since Poland became a NATO member, military exercises of the 
fifth corps have been regularly held in Poland.
