A soldier has had his personal laptop stolen while out for the night.

According to a source close to the incident, reports that the laptop contained the personal details of more than 200 soldiers, as well as the names of their wives and children, were exagerated.

Apparently, Royal Engineers Captain Luke Badger had his unencrypted personal laptop stolen while out for the night at the Troy club in London. While the laptop contained some details, there was nothing secret on it, according to the source.

However, the Sun newspaper, which the laptop was handed in to, reported that the laptop "contains personal details of more than 200 soldiers, plus data on their movements, military exercises and weapons store locations."
