In a police report on the incident, officers in the Midwestern city state that the stolen server was worth $10,000. The police write that the thief "came through the ceiling, going into their [AIG's] server room." NBC News is not identifying the city at the company's request, so as to not tip off the thief who may not realize he/she has valuable personal information.

Yes, given the number of theives who steal servers by going through the ceilings in Midwestern cities, it's probably a good thing they don't specify which city. :)
