A laptop computer containing personal information of more than 133,000 Floridians was stolen in late July from a government SUV parked in front of a popular Doral cafeteria, the U.S. Department of Transportation announced Wednesday.

Acting DOT Inspector General Todd J. Zinser said the laptop contained names, birth dates, Social Security numbers and addresses for 80,677 South Florida commercial driver's license-holders whose licenses were issued out of Miami-Dade offices.

Other potential victims include: 42,792 Floridians holding pilot's licenses, 9,006 people who received regular Class E driver's licenses from an examining office in Largo, and another 471 who received commercial licenses from the same office 15 miles north of St. Petersburg.
