Loss of RAM causes loss of secrets ???

Ok this one just left me dumbfounded. Saw a new newspaper at home , one of those evening news variety called Mail Today and thought, great some new reading material for the next visit to the John. Which surprisingly, wasnt very long after. I glanced upon this article which had the taint of cyber crime. One of the ministers of the cabinet had the RAM allegedly stolen from her official computer. The police are investigation the importance of the data loss. RAM yes you read right RAM was missing and along with it all our national secrets are probably in enemy hands now. Come on people, if you want to write stories on technical matters atleast get them whetted by someone in the know. I mean come and attend my classes, one of the first things i talk about is ROM and RAM.
