Well, before you criticise an individual you have know a bit about the circumstances - and I certainly don't! So I'm not going to comment, but it does raise interesting questions. For example, why was it necessary to have all that data on one laptop?
Was it because the individual was so overworked that he/she had to have it with him/her so that he/she could meet deadlines?
But he/she did not have it
with him/her. He/she left it in the car
