The woman that story is about is a TOTAL MORON!
I'd like to think that most people that found personal information (social security numbers, bank statements, credit card info., etc. etc.) on someone's computer wouldn't do anything with it...but would I trust that? NO! I guess I'll just be a "PSE"
(paranoid security expert - drill, bash, or bend hard drives so that the data will be totally unrecoverable.)

A Sledgehammer is the tool you need in your computing toolbox for all PSE's GG.:)
This could of been a publicity stunt, it could backfire if he finds bank/credit card info and used it.....bit stupid of here though, as it could of been bought by this dude to give to his daughter/niece, and that's just plain wrong to leave these images/videos intact....
