Probably the one from that one dude that's been digging through a dump for years trying to find his.
The thing is, he hasn't been digging through the dump because the local authority won't allow it. This story is near to me and he'll pop up in the local rags now and again to whine about his lot in life.
This guy has spent a long time chasing after a mistake that he's never going to be able to rectify, dragging it through the courts, and generally being a pain in the arse. The sooner he lets it go, the better for everyone - including him.
Besides the legalities and the environment concerns - it's a spinning disk drive that has been sitting exposed in landfill for over a decade. It's fucked.
