You don’t risk a high level job for a few hundred bucks worth of used electronics. You do it for the value of the sensitive data on them.

(as background mat'l.)...back in the "bad" 'ol days of "THE COLD WAR"...the soviet position was :
"WHAT'S MINE; IS MINE"
"WHAT'S OURS; IS MINE"
"WHAT'S YOURS; IS NEGOTIABLE "

...the more things chande, the more they stay the same.
