Sensitive documents have reportedly gone missing from MI6's headquarters.
More than 100 papers relating to layout and security measures of the Vauxhall Cross, south London building vanished.
Building firm Balfour Beatty's contract to refurbish the building was terminated after the documents disappeared, according to The Sun.
The papers are understood to have been drawn up by the construction group and are not believed to have fallen into the hands of hostile powers.
To ensure they did not go missing the documents were supposed to have been kept in a secure room while work was ongoing.
Access was limited to a small number of supervisors.
Regardless, the alarm was raised two week ago when the documents went missing.
A source told The Sun: "The whole building went into lockdown and all the construction workers were kept in isolation.
“To lose such sensitive documents was grossly irresponsible.
“They showed the layout of the building and specifically where alarms and other security measures were. The documents would be gold dust to any enemy agents or terrorists.”

A spy would have simply photographed and put them back so no one would know the information had been stolen. This appears to be someone who wanted the theft to be known in order to kill the project.

I like the statement "not believed to have fallen into the hands of hostile powers". Are they trying to make themselves feel better? How do they know that if the papers are lost? I have to chuckle as the karma has come around.

An Arab spy is, one of those diversity sand niggers. Guarantee.
Isreal would have a different op.
Americans?? Geesh seeing the op on trump I'm not convinced they could get it done.
Russians, I think they are kept out well and also have other better methods.
So yeah sand niggers did it.
If it's any consolation, awan airab brothers sold out all of sensitive information.

Oh shit someone stole our secret documents!
Oh shit someone sent them to wikileaks!
Oh shit the shady people named in the documents committed suicide!
Or they are planning a leak themselves and are looking for a decent excuse. This looks more like an internal war in mi6!
