There were two laptops stolen from these so called vendors. I know my daughter recieved a letter from the gap informing her. The way the letter is written it sounds like the gap is keeping this vendor on. Also with all the publicity the thief just has to hold onto these laptops for a year then bam have at it destroy all these young peoples credit at the drop of a hat lets face it most people applying at these companys are 17 to 19 years of age just starting to establish a credit history. And anyone who has ever been exposed to identity theft know it takes years to correct this information. This is unacceptable I believe there should be a class action suit brought against the gap for this inexcusable act.
