Just read a post on another forum ( unrelated to seo) about what can happen.
Seems the person threw out a hd, along with other computer parts, thinking it was bad.
The hd ended up being siezed in a raid and arrest of someone storing inappropriate pictures on the hd.
But the original person's contact information was still on the hd.
Five agents with a search warrant show up on this person's door about a year later. Take all computers, tapes, vcr taps, etc.
When disposing of hd's, cd's, dvd's, and any thing else with data, make sure they are properly wiped of data and or disposed of.

scary, and the guy did not even sell his hd, only throwing them out and then being arrested.
smash it to pieces is still the best method.
