I used to work in tech support at a retail computer store and used to see this all the time. A customer would bring back a PC they had brought saying they didn't want it or wanted to upgrade to a better model and the sales person would just put their old one back on the shelf not bothering to format it.

I found one once that still had all the emails on it, their CV and some home made webcam porn.
