Well, at least they're using their geek powers for good and not evil. Oh wait....

LOL is all I can say...If somone honestly thinks that repair techs do not go through their comp, then they are sick in the head.

That was my first thought as well. I would expect to see a repository for "found" porn and music.

Is this really "stealing?"

Yeah, I expect this. It's just porn and music, which was most likely stolen in the first place.

If they were taking risky personal pictures of the customers and making a profit off of them, then that would be newsworthy.

I like the CEO's reaction: It was totally just this one rogue employee that you found. Let us fire him so that this will never happen to a GeekSquad customer again.
