How many laptop computers can you fit into, two trucks, in nine hours?

Thousands of laptops were stolen from the Florida office of a private contractor for the U.S. military's Special Operations Command.

U.S. Special Operations Command coordinates the activities of elite units from the Army, Navy, Air Force and Marines. A spokeswoman said Tuesday that none of the stolen laptops contained military information or software.
The Virginia-based company iGov was awarded a $450 million contract earlier this year to supply mobile technology services linking special operations troops worldwide. A company executive says iGov is cooperating with authorities and the March 6 break-in at its Tampa facility remains under investigation.

Surveillance cameras caught up to seven people loading the computers into two trucks for nine hours.

They should lose the contract and be held liable for all dollar loses.

And maybe criminal too for lack of security.

They should hire those people to work on the load dock. Can you imagine how hard it would be to find Americans that would work nine hours loading Thousands of laptops into trucks without a break.

In my opinion without a doubt an inside job. And lack of security over that value of product warrants loss of contract at once. Let the company go bankrupt for its stupidity.
