Personal information in Berkeley laptop

MercuryNews.com | 03/28/2005 | Stolen UC Berkeley laptop exposes personal data of nearly 100,000

I suspect that somewhere there’s a college student who’s trying desperately trying to get rid of a laptop. The campus police believe this to be a simple case of theft where the culprit got more than they bargained for. In any case, what were the ~90k records doing on the laptop in the first place?
