93,000 Students Warned After Laptop Theft

Same old story - unencrypted data on a laptop. It is likely that the person that took the laptop is just going to dump it for money, doesn't sound much like a data thief to me. However, who will get the laptop after that? A pawn shop? Who gets it after that? And for what reason?

That is the part that scares me.
