Hmm… It's hard to say for sure.
Here is another idea - if you were someone with dirt on Biden or the like, and you wanted to let them know what you have on them - you could easily buy a computer, make it look like it belongs to your dirtied target, then add contents that show them what you have. You then leave it at a repair shop and the repair shop tries to get a hold of you.
If you were to pick it up and see what was on it, - you would then be appraised of how fucked you were.
