LANCASTER, Pa. (AP) -- A laptop stolen from a payroll
auditor contains 
personal information on 12,000 current and former Armstrong
World Industries 
Inc. employees, the company said.

The data include home addresses and phone numbers, Social
Security numbers 
and how much the people were paid. A two-page letter sent by
Armstrong last 
week said the company was not aware of any misuse of the
information, and 
that a password was required to access the information on
the computer.

The laptop was stolen from a locked car belonging to a
Deloitte & Touche LLP 
employee, Armstrong said. Deborah G. Harrington, a
spokeswoman for the 
consulting firm, declined to comment.
