We have several locations (Public Safety, help desk, etc) where occasionally a thumb drive is dropped off which was found on campus. Do you erase them outright? Do you check them (for a resume.doc type identifying file)? What are the liabilities? How does your organization handle lost&found thumb drive devices? Policy? Todd A.
