does just that. Well, I had 2 friends work at Geek Squad at the local Best Buy. One of them, who's kind of a womanizer, if a cute lady dropped off a computer, he'd always search it for jpg/bmp/gif/avi/mpg files. More than once he's found 'interesting' and personal files, which he then copies. I personally don't think it's right and neither does my other friend at Geek Squad, but he doesn't sell or distribute them or post them anywhere, so we both just shrug it off.
Consequently, that was a few years back. My friend, the womanizer one, has subsequently quit Best Buy (it was kind of a mutual thing, he kept showing up late) and now works for Circuit City's FireDog. I assume he does the same thing there, but I haven't asked, I don't really want to know. My other friend who works at Best Buy Geek Squad is now the Geek Squad manager, where I believe he's fired techs for doing things like that.
I fix computers on the side, and I've never really cared enough to do anything sneaky like that. I just want to fix it, get my money and leave. One time a while back I did accidentally double click on the wrong file on the desktop, and it was an avi, and a video of the owner of the laptop came up, while he was 'receiving' from his girlfriend. Something I did NOT want to see. I just closed the video and even considered deleting it but figured mine was not to judge.
