Burglars hit organization

Thursday, Feb. 5, 2004 | 9:39 a.m.

A nonprofit group that helps young people who are on the street or down and out was burglarized Tuesday night, its director said.

The Nevada Partnership for Homeless Youth, a nonprofit organization with more than 100 members statewide, lost three laptop computers in the burglary, Director Kathleen Boutin said.

The crime will set the group back at least $10,000, Boutin said, as it must replace the computers and set up a security system. At the same time client and donor data was probably not lost, as they are probably on other computers or on paper, Garrett Dangerfield, chairman of the board for the nonprofit group, said.

Officer Shane Lewis of the Henderson Police Department said the crime's motive was unclear. He said the "investigators don't believe identity theft was any motive" in Tuesday's crime.
