Two laptop computers stolen from Chicago Public Schools headquarters 
Friday contain the names and Social Security numbers of about 40,000 
current and former employees, officials said.

The theft occurred at the downtown offices about noon, and a 
suspect's image was captured by surveillance video, CPS said in a 
statement. No one was in custody late Friday and a Chicago police 
spokesman said he had no information on the theft.

The names and Social Security numbers belong to any current and
