Kaiser in S. Calif. stored vast numbers of patient records in couple's
garage

http://j.mp/ZpkcNi  (L.A. Times)

   "In court filings, Kaiser said the Deans put patient data at risk by
    leaving two computer hard drives in their garage with the door open.
    In response, Stephan Dean moved them to a spare room. On a recent day
    they sat next to a red recliner where Ziggy, the family's
    black-and-white cat, curled up for a nap. Dean said those hard drives
    contained spreadsheets on thousands of Kaiser patients, prepared at
    the company's request."
