  3. He should have put in a blank hard drive by pfunk · · Score: 5, Insightful

    He should have replaced the hard drive with a blank formatted hard drive. Then when the realty office tried to start the system and it wouldn't boot, take the computer back to his office or shop and retrieve the "lost" data.
