Lt. Col. Ben Zoller, an Army Reservist spokesman, said in an e-mail message that there have been no reported incidents of the stolen information being used for any unlawful purpose to date. Zoller said the local Morrow, Ga., police are investigating the theft and that the Army Reserve command has appointed an investigating officer to conduct a formal inquiry.
