I'm betting that happens alot more often than companies admit..
MY FRIEND, got a phone call a few months ago from a lady.. lady explains to MY FRIEND, that she has a laptop but has lost the password. Long story short.. MY FRIEND, reset all the passwords and logged into the machine.. discovered it once belonged to a large insurance company.
MY FRIEND, called her back and told her to come clean on the machine.. knew it was stolen. She explains to MY FRIEND, that her uncle is a truck driver and that he had stolen several laptops from a load he was delivering. MY FRIEND, deleted all the sensitive data off the machine and gave the computer back.
I wonder how often stuff like that falls of the back of trucks...
