SAN FRANCISCO -- UCSF recently warned 9,986 people that their personal 
information may have been compromised after desktop computers were stolen 
from the university's Family Medical Center at Lakeshore in January.

The unencrypted computers were taken from the Sloat Boulevard facility on

last week. They contained "some personal and health information, which may
