A burglary earlier this month at the Loomis Chaffee School has potentially 
left the personal information, including Social Security numbers, of 
several hundred past students vulnerable, officials say.

The theft occurred on Aug. 2 in the school's Information Technology 
Department, with someone removing "thousands of dollars worth" of computer 
equipment, said Capt. Thomas LePore of the Windsor Police Department.

No other rooms in the school were broken into, LePore said.
Loomis Chaffee is a private school for grades 9 through 12 at 4 Bachelder 
Road.

When reached at the school this week Headmaster Russel H. Weigel said that 
due to the ongoing police investigation into the burglary he could not 
comment on what equipment was taken or what type of information may have 
been compromised.
