So my laptop got stolen yesterday....
My question is if there is any information made public that was stolen, what are my legal options in going after that person other than charging that person with theft.
I am not too concerned (just a little concerned) about any information about myself being made public as the laptop was wiped clean last week, but with it was a USB drive that had potentially still has some confidential information regarding a company I did some consulting for (may have deleted it--haven't looked at USB in a while). Reports, etc. I do not want that to come out.
If it does.... what can I do? I want to do whatever I can to this person (in a non-violent way) that they will regret ever stealing this.
Yes it was stupid to have left the USB with the laptop, but I didn't think it would get stolen.
For those tecchies....is there a USB drive out on the market that I can put a password onto? If I can do that to all USB drives, how do I do it?
Now to get a new laptop in time for school
Thanks for whatever advice I get.
