South Central Los Angeles Regional Center notified consumers after an employee’s iPad containing names and UCIs (Unique Customer Identification?) had been left in a vehicle that was stolen on July 6.
According to their web site, SCLARC is a private, non-profit, community based organization which contracts with the State Department of Developmental Services (DDS) to coordinate services for individuals with developmental disabilities and their families.
