YUKON COMPUTER MONITOR STOLEN FROM SAME GOVERNMENT BUILDING THAT WAS PREVIOUSLY TARGETED FOR COMPUTER THIEVES Whitehorse Star Online:

Government building burglarized again

A computer LCD screen, food and a worker’s personal items were stolen Tuesday night from the Yukon government’s Prospector Building downtown.
It’s the same building at Jarvis Street and Third Avenue where computers with the files of between 150 and 200 people on probation had been stolen in 2004.
“No computers were taken,” Dan Cable, the spokesman for the Department of Justice, said Thursday afternoon of the most recent theft.
Since the theft of the computers, steps were taken to prevent it from happening again, including software encryption on the hard drives and using a lock to secure laptops to the desks.
Although a monitor was stolen, no hard drives nor other items carrying data were taken. Some personal items were stolen from a worker’s desk and food was taken out of the staff refrigerator sometime overnight Tuesday.
As the RCMP continue their investigation, Yukon government officials will be looking at ways to secure the building better, Cable stressed.
Whenever there’s a break-in, ways of improving security are always looked at, he said.
The building is the former home of The Prospector restaurant and housed The Keg restaurant in the 1980s."
