A computer hard drive containing the names and Social Security numbers of 
current and former NMSU employees is missing from the Pan American Center, 
just the latest in a series of thefts from the facility since November 
2006, according to police reports.

A New Mexico State University official said it was "highly improbable" 
that the information on the hard drive could be accessed.

The external hard drive was stolen sometime between Dec. 30 and Jan. 2

hired by the department since 1999, according to a university police 
report.
