Certainly. But in these days when data is the all-important riches that get stolen the theft of the actual hardware is a bit odd, isn't it?

"Down for a couple of months"? I was able to order things from the shop at PG's site just a couple of days after the server was stolen, so they did have backup (but of course it takes some time to play it all back, and they'll have gone for the hot stuff (breaking news, delay announcements for his next putative releases) first).
