Eh, it's frustrating, huh? I volunteered at a computer recycling drive and missed a PowerBook G3 and what appeared to be a excellent condition Thinkpad. Along with other stuff only because they didn't want the data in bad hands. Ironically enough, prisoners were the one's to be scrapping the computers. I did make off with a bit, but only one computer, which I "intercepted" before it got to the truck. I asked the owner and she was happy to give it to a collector, and she handed me her pristine stock condition Mac SE FDHD, she also took my phone number and got all the software and manuals she had. Of course I wasn't exempt from the supervisor's wrath after she found out. "I had deceived the lady into thinking I was a recycler." BS.

Good score either way, sucks to be compromised, though.
