TROY, Mich. -- Troy Beaumont Hospital officials are asking for your help
Tuesday in recovering a stolen laptop computer containing patient
information.

The laptop computer was stolen on Aug. 5, according to hospital officials.
The computer was in the rear of the vehicle of a Beaumont Home Care nurse,
which was stolen from outside a senior center on Agnes Street on Detroit,
said Chris Hengstebeck, director of security at Troy Beaumont Hospital.

The vehicle was recovered about a mile from the location, but the laptop
remained missing, according to Hengstebeck.

The Dell D-400 computer (serial No. 5MZ1F61) was turned off at the time
and in a nylon case, Hengstebeck said. He said the computer is used to
document patient care and includes personal information such as names,
addresses, Social Security numbers and insurance information on 28,400
Home Care patients served over the last three years.
