The Forest Grove Police Department is investigating the theft of a 
University-owned laptop from a staff member's residence that occurred on 
Thursday, March 26, 2009. The University was made aware of the theft on 
March 26, 2009.

The computer contained names and some personal information. It does not 
appear that any social security numbers were stored on the system.

There is no evidence at this time of identity theft. However, because the 
potential for identity theft exists, Pacific University is encouraging all 
faculty staff and students to take proper precautions and monitor their 
personal information and accounts.
