Someone stole my Aunt's laptop a while ago, but she managed to hunt the person down and get it back only to find the bloody thing had it's password reset, accounts wiped, etc...
She gave it to me to get back in working order, and I had to ask her if she was interested in pressing charges, because handing it to me may compromise chain of custody of any investigation. She decided not to proceed with filing charges, but just wanted me to investigate and restore the bloody thing.
The person in question sync's their mobile content to that laptop. I had more than enough evidence of phone use while driving, who they were associating with, where they were hanging out, what they were doing, etc.... I didn't even have to try digging.
