kilowatt is on a distinguished road
A friend of mine that works at a rather popular resturant chain was allowed to take home their old computer system when a new one was brought in.

He didn't know much about computers other than that he wanted one. So he took the server over to my house, and I booted it up.

To our surprise, the thing contained every last statistic and record from this resturant over the past 5 years. Employee pay schedules, social security numbers, phone numbers, customer addresses... it was really endless. I made an encrypted copy of the drive images, and installed linux-from-scratch on it.

I don't think I have the drive images anymore, but it was absolutely shocking.
