As reported here, the laptop stolen from the home of a VA employee contained millions of records that included personal identification information that could have been used for ID theft, has been returned with, according to the FBI, the data 'intact'.
"The FBI said in a statement from its Baltimore field office that it appeared that the data had not been copied or misused. "A preliminary review of the equipment by computer forensic teams has determined that the database remains intact and has not been accessed since it was stolen," the statement said."
Hopefully, that will prove to be true, so that all of us who were possibly affected can breathe a little easier.
