Hasta La Gadget!

When picking up a piece of electronics from a thrift store, the top concern is generally something along the lines of, “does the thing turn on?” When a New Zealand man visiting a second-hand store in Oklahoma picked up an MP3 player, he got all that and more. The DAP housed 60 military files, including American soldiers’ names, phone numbers, and social security numbers.

Chris Ogle from Whangarei, New Zealand, picked the player up for $18. He discovered the files upon plugging the device into his computer. Along with the soldiers’ personal information, the player also held mission briefings and equipment details.

“The more I look at it, the more I see and the less I think I should be looking,” Ogle told a local New Zealand news station.
