Give it to the first nigger you see and say, "Here, trade this for da
rock homey."

Customer brings in a lap top. "Won't boot"
So you do the usual amount of diagnostics
and knock a little sense back into the machine.
Being nosy of course, you check out the
pictures folder to see what their kinks are.
Oh, my definitely a bozo no no there.....
So what do you do?
(Some answers giving below are tongue in cheek
for the humor impaired.)
Act like nothing happened?
Congratulate them on their tastes?
Wipe the drive with something like bcwipe and
give it back to them?
Spin up the drive separately and bang it against
the desk repeatedly until you knock a head loose?
Make copies for yourself?
Hand it over to the local police?
Give it back to the customer and turn them in
after a few weeks?
Charge the customer extra and demand payment to
keep quiet?
The two things that bother me the most are the
police have a terrible track record on anonymous
and the lawyers like to claim that YOU put it
there.
So, what to do?

Isn't that an nvasion of privacy?
Did you have a search warrant?
Do you open yourself up to a lawsuit?
Advice I one got from an attorney. You never want to be in the witness box.
And you don't know the ansewer until the judge tells you.

this is good advice.
D said:Ah, well that's your *first* mistake! :-(
Of course, that depends on what you found.
Pix of "him" (?) spanking his neighbor's wife? <shrug>
Pix of "him" pouring cement over Jimmy Hoffa's body...?
To get *it* into the hands of police, you have
already given up any chance of anonymity -- even if
you shipped it to them in an unmarked envelope.
"Hey, I came in to pick up my laptop... What do
you *mean* 'you don't have it'? Where did it go???"
There was a girl named Pandora who made a similar
mistake (except it was a *jar*, in her case)...

Owner says he has no knowledge of the contraband and
that he had it repaired not long ago and the contra-
band must have been placed their by the repair person.
and the lawyers like to claim that YOU put it there.
It was a jar. According to the wikipedia, it was mistranslated (around
500 years ago) as box and that has stuck in some places.

...while snooping somewhere where you weren't authorized.
Now you have a reputation
not only as someone who does unauthorized snooping but as a nark.
Word gets out that you are a jerk
and people immediately stop bringing you their work. Another jackass out
of the business. Good.
Glad to see you paid attention to the original posting.
I'll assume you found some child porn. If it were me I would hand it over
to the cops. Can't say I really hate much about the world but child abuse
and those who do the abuse would be 1 of the few things I hate.
