First: if the laptop was discovered missing in April, why in
the _hell_ did they wait 4 months to report it?

Secondly: Anyone else notice the irony of the fact that it
was stolen during an "agency-sponsored anti-fraud conference"?

Double sheesh.

The inspector general's office at the Department of Transportation
disclosed yesterday the theft of another laptop from one of its agents
in Florida, the second such report in less than a week.

Barbara L. Barnet, the special agent in charge of the Miami office,
discovered in April that her laptop had been stolen from a locked room
during an agency-sponsored anti-fraud conference in Orlando, acting
Deputy Inspector General Theodore P. Alves said yesterday.
