The youngest batch of students at Gore Main School had a disturbing start to their week after thieves broke into their classroom on Saturday night and stole four laptops and a CD stereo system.

The teacher Rose McKenzie said, “The most upsetting part for the five and six year olds was that their morning schedule had to be changed as they were not allowed into their classroom due to the ongoing investigation.”

She also added “the children had some wonderful stories recorded on CD and usually played those on the stereo in the morning.” She continued, “One of the annoying things about losing the laptops was that, after waiting all year, the wireless signal strength had been just boosted to get internet access in the classroom and to be able to send material to the school printer.”

The children were “sad” about the whole incident and hoped someone might know where their laptops are. “It’s not fair,” said one pupil.

Constable Adam Roberts, of Gore, said the burglars were quick and organized as the Board of trustee members were at the school within 15 minutes of the burglar alarm going off but the offenders had left. Moreover, he added that there was no sign of a forced entry. He estimated the total loss at $3000.

How Alertsec Xpress Would Have Helped

If you use a data security software a theft would simply be reduced to an insurance matter and cost of the hardware plus time to rebuild the laptop. That is certainly a small price to pay compared to what can happen if you lose confidential or sensitive data. Alertsec Xpress offers a very good and easy-to-use laptop security service that includes more than the traditional software licensing model.
