NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Another laptop has been stolen from Metro’s government, officials said.

The laptop belonged to John Griffey, who is in charge of computer security for Metro. He works for the same information technology department that's doing a citywide review to find out how vulnerable Metro's computers might be.

It is not clear what was on the laptop. Griffey told Channel 4's Larry Brinton that it was nothing valuable, just some office applications and a data control project.

A Honda was parked in a Franklin driveway last week when a thief reportedly broke into the back hatch during the night and stole the computer.

The theft comes as Davidson County’s registered voters are still reeling from learning their personal information was compromised when a laptop was stolen from the election commission.

This latest theft happened about two weeks after the election commission break-in and at a time when Metro was on high alert about its own computer security.

Because of the election break-in, every department in Metro was told last week to review its computer security and turn it over to the department where Griffey works.

The latest computer theft has been kept under the radar, and the Council members that reporter Nancy Amons talked to had not been told.

"That's very concerning. At this point, I'll have to reserve comment until I know more about it, but it's very concerning that this could be a pattern," said Councilman Duane Dominy.

Griffey was unavailable for an interview because he's out of town all week at a training session in New Orleans.

Election Commission Meets To Discuss Theft, Solutions

Before a meeting of the election commission got under way on Tuesday, some commissioners said they were afraid to discuss the issue of the stolen election commission laptops. They said they feared what they said at the meeting could be used against Metro in the class action lawsuit that's been filed.

Once that issue was resolved, Administrator Ray Barrett had the floor to give a timeline of events to commissioners.

Once he finished that, he said that Metro’s information technology department was wiping all commission’s remaining laptops clean of any sensitive information. He said the election commission would no longer use voters’ Social Security numbers, not even the last four digits, to look up voters once they get to polling places. He said from now on, addresses and birthday information will be used as reference points.

Barrett said he is working with the IT department and General Services to come up with some safety and security standards for the election commission.

Election Commissioner Patricia Heym said she got some of her questions answered at the meeting but that she has more.

"I want to know what suggestions and recommendations Metro General Services has to provide better security. You know, that stretches as far as insuring that the original voter registration records are properly secured and ballots are properly secured or at ground level," she said.

The head of General Services was available at Tuesday's meeting, but no one asked her any questions.
