Didn't the original "wanted" notice for this hardware specifically 
mention an external (USB) drive?

Gee .. 'mount -t ntfs -o ro /dev/sda1 /mnt/goodies'

How are their "forensic" people going to determine if *that* happened?

Their argument about "a real crook wouldn't return the hardware" .. 
well, why not? .. $50,000 to buy that fancy ID printer off eBay to get 
yourself started.
