[edit] Missing SAT exams
On June 10, 2004 officials of the Ardsley school district notified police that the 123 SAT answer booklets were stolen while awaiting shipment to the College Board for scoring. Ardsley High School had served as a testing location for the June 5, 2004 exam.[3] On the morning of June 11, 2004, a man whose identity was never disclosed, called the school to inform them that he had mistakenly taken the package. The answer booklets were returned, the package was reported to be completely intact, and therefore the tests were still eligible to be scored.[4]
