Several years ago we had a Microsoft consultant come out to draw up plans to get us to start using SCCM and using OneDrive was included. We spent several weeks working on this project and we had a meeting scheduled with the CIO on a Friday afternoon after a full week of working on the presentation with the consultant. We went out to lunch and the consultant left his computer bag in the backseat of my car... and someone busted out my window and stole his computer. Which also included his external hard drive where he backs up all of his data. He lost everything. I asked him if he had it backed up to OneDrive and he sheepishly admitted that he doesn't use OneDrive.
Leaving computer equipment or bags visible in an unattended car is a big no no. What's the boot for?
It was a hatchback, and the back seat had tinted windows, so he thought it was safe... Unfortunately I didn't realize he had his bag with him or I would have had him bring it into the restaurant. I'm a lot more careful now.
