Lost and Found

["James C. Farr '05" <jfarr () UTICA EDU>]

Each of our institutions probably has a lost and found box where people turn
in things like flash drives.

In the past we look for identifying information so we can return the device
to the happy owner.

That is all well and good, but what if that flash drive had confidential
data on it?

We have no idea who saw that drive while it was missing.

Does anyone scan lost and found storage devices (either manually or with a
tool) to search for reportable information like Social security numbers?

If so what processes are you using?
