Bellevue's T-Mobile USA Inc. on Wednesday confirmed reports that a laptop

home address for as many as 43,000 current and former employees 
disappeared from an employee's checked luggage.

He based his speculation on the fact that the laptop contained data on
people employed at T-Mobile between May 25 and that date.
