Hard drives alone like that would make one think it was a well planned job.
Someone wanted that specific information, and its a LOT easier to put a couple hard drives in your pocket than take the whole computer. Whole bunches less conspicious. Whoever did this had a specific target and knew what they wanted...do doubt about it. With hard drives approaching the price of breakfast cereal, no one but a determined, focused thief would take the trouble to dismount them.
This has the smell of an inside job ALL OVER it.

In particular, was this actually just the hard drives being stolen?
How many people were affected?
