Regarding this laptop theft...

Nothing substantial about this to link to yet, but it makes me wonder, if an employee of the bank (Nationwide) took home sensitive information to make a shedlaod of money, of his/her own volition or under duress, how would it be reported in the media? The bank is claiming that there is nothing in the notepad that could be used to take customers' money, but I would think that if it's still missing, someone would be prepared to pay a substantial sum for it on the black market, and find a way to make it pay...
Be interesting to see how it all plays out.

this?
According to BBC it was stolen three months ago.
I guess how useful it is depends on what's on it. If it just has names and addresses I guess the usefulness for identity fraud is limited (you could get the same by mugging a postman). If it inlcudes things like NI numbers, date of birth, etc it could be more useful.
It will be the laptop of a senior person, probably in IT, with access to case management systems, nothing more.
Well if you post a thread with no reference to anything, how am I supposed to know?
The OP refers to "a laptop" and a bank. How am I supposed to know what the story is?
It's funny how the Beeb like to make every sentence a separate paragraph. Looks kinda weird on a message board...
