Some nice folks got screwed by Best Buy after taking their PC in to have their hard drive replaced. "We'll destroy the old one," they said, "drill holes in it even," which they assuredly did not because it showed up some time later at a Chicago flea market. I'd have thought to remove sensitive info from the drive before handing it over - Best Buy is, after all, staffed by a posse of minimum wage schmoes who just aren't paid enough to really give a rat's ass. I mean, really... if you don't care enough to get a job somewhere other than Best Buy, why would you care about some stranger's personal information?
Overall the Best Buy experience is seriously underwhelming. Whenever I go there's either no staff to be found, or there's a herd of them with clipboards in every aisle. But no matter how much your job sucks, is there really a market for stealing someone's old hard drive from the lab and reselling it? Scan the drive first and take the credit info from it at least. Best Buy people... they just aren't smart.
