Five computer tapes containing the Social Security numbers, birth dates 
and other personal information for about 900 employees and retirees are 
back in the hands of the state Dormitory Authority after going missing for 
more than a week.

Authority spokesman Marc Violette says UPS found the tapes at its Missouri 
warehouse for lost items, where they were sent after getting separated 
from their packaging at a sorting facility in Manhattan. They were 
returned Thursday.

He says the tapes were checked and found undamaged and free of tampering.
