COLUMBUS, Ohio -- A disk carrying the Social Security
numbers and other personal information on all 64,000 Ohio
state employees was stolen from a state worker's car last
weekend, Gov. Ted Strickland said Friday.

Strickland said it takes special equipment to access the
information on the disk, so he doesn't believe the workers'
privacy is in jeopardy.

Strickland said the Ohio employee mistakenly left the disk,
a backup, in a vehicle parked outside an apartment Sunday.
