We just had this discussion on another list...he could of taken the
drive out, copied/mirrored it, replaced it and returned the laptop
for the reward. No files would of been changed, and the heat could
die down. Next you know, the Russian credit-card mob would pay him
$10-15,000 for the names, so:

$25,000 for returning it
$15,000 for selling the data
----------
$40,000 not a bad weeks work....
