    This could have all been avoided if he took out his own trash.

    Even if they found the drive (unlikely) and it wasn’t smashed (not sure how likely), It still seems really unlikely that the data would be recoverable after being in the elements that long with rust and whatnot.

      You would be shocked at what’s recoverable with professional services.
