    I find it strange that he would steal two hard drives. They would have little value to him.
    Unless he knows some people who deal with identify theft. If they contained databases of personal details it would be a jackpot.
    Changing the world, one sarcastic comment at a time.

    My camera went missing after a job I did at my Bowls Club. I found it 6 months later in a bucket of chisels in my garage. Just saying!

    Similar - I was building a side gate and suddenly my random orbital sander had gone missing - strange as it seeemed I assumed someone had come into the garden, seen it in the "unlocked" summer house I was using as a temporary workspace and taken it - but left other tools.

    Fast forward about a year, and it turned up in the box room under a massive pile of rubbish - I still dont remember moving it there !

    The only time I use those drives is when I back up data

    Are you serious that you only do a backup every few months?
    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?

    ..could be reasonable if the data is changed that infrequently....
