FBI lost 160 laptops in last 44 months

When the initial audit was completed in 2002, the FBI was losing 3.82 functional weapons a month (training weapons were going missing at an even higher rate of 5.07 each month). Laptop losses were even worse, with 10.71 disappearing every thirty days. The new audit shows significantly better numbers: only 1.09 functional weapons and 2.64 laptops were lost each month, and losses of training weapons dropped all the way to 0.41.

The number seems low, but 144 laptops in the span of four years? It’s nothing when an average Joe’s laptop is lost, but these are notebooks with incredibly sensitive information!
