A year ago, Henry and Roma Gerbus took their computer to Best Buy in
Springfield Township to have its hard drive replaced. Henry Gerbus
said Best Buy assured him the computer's old hard drive -- loaded
with personal information -- would be destroyed.
"They said rest assured. They drill holes in it so it's useless,"
said Gerbus.
A few months ago, Gerbus got a phone call from a man in Chicago. "He
said, 'My name is Ed. I just bought your hard drive for $25 at a flea
market in Chicago,'" said Gerbus.
