If there's nothing interesting, the ethics are to wipe it.

If there are nudes or weird shit, fuck ethics post 'em

>ethics
If someone found your laptop what would you expect them to do with it? A lot of people might be more keen to look for hidden cp or some thing else juicy but not necessarily their business to get their hands on.

I would see if the owner would want it back, because if it were me I'd want my shit back. But most people would at least peak to see what kind of depraved shit might be on it so it's up to you in the end. Do you believe in karma or no, because then "do what you would do unto others and don't do onto others what you would not want done upon yourself" or some shit.

I'd expect them to give up due to encryption, but i see your point.
Seeing how she willingly left it in a literal pile of junk i'm not gonna go through the effort of giving it back.

Might just store the HDD someplace and start a collection.

there are no "ethics" to be explored. just don't be an asshole
>>
>>59610501
If it's boring shit, wipe it. If there's cp, report it. If there's weird but legal shit, post it nibba
>>
I just found a .txt named "passwords"...
Paypal, ebay, google, myspace, you name it.
It's all the same password or a tiny variation too
>>
IT prerogative is to delete it, but you're not exactly doing a job. Still ethically you should delete it but it is up to you

It's more secure than what most people do. By the way all those big services like Google will probably trigger alarms if you try to login
