The company i work for had that happen to us quite a few times.. (nurses had thier laptops stolen from them)
what we did was exactly what jonese said to do.. Contacted each person by mail.. signed them all up for free credit monitoring for a year, gave them numbers to equifax, transunion & Experian.. also gave them information on how to safeguard their information. We then switched to a 3rd party vendor to install some pretty sweet stuff on all of our laptops & desktop pcs.. Even if the person re-spins the hard drive, or replaces the hard drive.. we are still able to track where they are at by their IP address..
