Now that attention has shifted away from BP and their multi-hundred-million-gallon oil spill, they have creatively managed to lose a laptop containing the personal information of some 13,000 individuals with damage claims against BP.  Creative, eh?
This comes mere days after Exxon managed to get a ruling in their favor with regards to the cleanup of the Exxon-Valdez oil spill in alaska, an oil spill that happened decades ago and is still causing major issues, despite being far smaller then BP's recent spill.

Hopefully none of the claimants will have BP's recent creativity cause them more trouble then BP has already caused with the oil spill in the first place.

"The laptop contained names, addresses, phone numbers, dates of birth and Social Security numbers for those who filed claims related to last year's Deepwater Horizon spill.

'There is no evidence that the laptop or data was targeted or that anyone's personal data has in fact been compromised or accessed in any way,' BP spokesman Tom Mueller said in a written statement. 'We have sent written notice to individuals impacted by this event to inform them about the loss of their personal data and to offer them free credit monitoring services to help protect their personal information.'"
