uk - GOVT LAPTOPS AND MOBILES GO MISSING

....to be sung to the tune of the Rolling Stones' You Can't Always Get What You Want

I saw them today in the reception
A laptop and a mobile phone
They had details about the forthcoming election
And some info on the PM's gall stone

43 laptops in three years
43 laptops in three years
43 laptops in three years
And a whopping 94
Mobile phones

But when I went back to the reception
The laptop and the phone were gone
I looked around in every direction
Then I called the police from a public phone

That’s a lot of personal data
That’s a lot of personal data
That’s a lot of personal data
But I wonder where, I wonder where
They’ve all gone

Is it the same person taking them away
And storing them in their home
Have they opened a little computer shop
P'raps they’re sending them to some guy in Rome

43 laptops in three years
43 laptops in three years
43 laptops in three years
And a whopping 94
Mobile phones
