I had an employee provide a resignation before I was on site. The employee then unplugged a desktop computer and left the premises with it. The computer contained pricing data, customer data, email communications, login credentials to several important websites, login info to vendor websites.

I filed a police report and the police were able to recover the computer, however the data on the machine was wiped or the drive was replaced.

What should I do?

    I wonder if there’s more to this story. Why did the employee think the computer was theirs to take? Did they bring their own device? You of course had backups… your entire business is not dependent on the state of a single hard-drive?

    Something seems off here.

      Idk the walking off with a comp is the only weird part to me. Sounds like they could be covering up
