Here it is. The study was sponsored by Dell. http://www.dell.com/downloads/global/services/dell_lost_laptop_study.pdf It says, "Laptop loss frequencies were collected from a confidential field survey as either a direct weekly estimate or as a range variable as reported by airport officials. Exact loss frequencies were typically not calculated or available for review."
