When I was doing work experience in around 1995, I did mine at a local computer firm. A few days in, the doorbell rang. I looked over at the security camera. It was four lads in balaclavas.
I thought we were going to get robbed. The boss opened the door, put his hand over the camera, and returned a few seconds later with his hands full of SIMMs. Which he dropped on the table in front of me.
“Test these will you” he said, and that was it. That’s what memory theft was like. A bunch of lads breaking into offices, nicking the RAM from the PCs, and selling it local computer shops who would sell it right back to the offices they stole it from.
Not one guy having an expensive package stolen at random.
