I doubt they even know they have it, unless that's what they were there for. I were investigating the case I would be finding out who may have known what he was taking home from work.
Well, if they watch the news they probably have a hint as to what they got.
Wonder why the govt and media is making such a big deal out of it? If it were me running the show I'd keep it quiet and do a massive effort to find the robbers before they can replicate and sell the data.
Unless the whole thing is a setup- someone inside knew that the unnamed database analyst took his laptop home, and called in pros to lift it, then calls the media to assure that the wrong people get punished (reminds me of the nuclear code validation files that disappeared from Los Alamos).
