Self Regional (Greenwood, SC) laptop theft: Two knuckelheads broke into a building and stole a laptop.  They've been caught, but said when they realized what they stole, they threw it into a lake.  Divers were not able to find the lakebottomed laptop.  Even though no harm has come to anyone, even though (if the crooks are telling the truth, a big "if") the data would likely be unrecoverable, it still must be reported. 

Obviously, the data was not encrypted.  If it had been, we wouldn't even know about this.  Go figure.
