Yes, but what about what they might PUT on your computer !!

I would be much more worried ,or as worried, about what might be put on my computer than taken off it !. How about they load it with trojans or anything else ,like may they want to set you up on behalf of someone/organisation ?.

I guess that the fact they found stuff on Gary Glitters computer shows that they were fishing around looking for what they could find.

The moral of the story, dont take your computer to any repair shop if you have anything on there that you wouldnt want the public to see.
