In Wisconsin, a van and $500,000 worth of computer data were stolen from a Town of Plymouth business, according to the Sheboygan County Sheriff’s Department.

Sheboygan Press staff state in a report that Steven Lawrence, owner of SSL Industries, said he found a back door of the business had appeared to had been forced open with a crowbar. Two computers, and their data backups, were stolen, along with a company van and other equipment.

Lawrence stated how the computers held 10 years worth of AutoCAD drawings, programs and other things used to run the company. Lawrence stated that the on-site backups were gone, but had one at home.

SSL Industries is a light manufacturer that fabricates equipment for the food and packaging industry.

Lawrence stated that the emergency backups should keep the company operating and insurance would cover the losses, which include the van, a die-cutting machine and a wire welder.
