DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS OFFICE OF INSPECTOR GENERAL (OIG), THE
FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION, AND MONTGOMERY COUNTY POLICE DEPARTMENT
ANNOUNCE THE RECOVERY OF THE STOLEN LAPTOP AND EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE
[...]
A preliminary review of the equipment by computer forensic teams has
determined that the data base remains intact and has not been accessed
since
it was stolen.

OK, somebody has to be asking: how would they know the data haven't been
accessed?  Especially on an external drive.
