If I lost my laptop, assuming I would have a backup of the past 15 years on it (like most devices I own), I would worry about the statute of limitations on cyber crimes regarding felonies for unlawful intrusion.
When I was a teenager, we used to toy with trojans/viruses and infecting each other and playing wargames on one another in our group. Out of context, it could seem very malicious and non-educational. There are probably hard copies of this in my backups. (When 200MB hard drives were a luxury, and Windows 3.11 for workgroups was a way of life for poor people, and 20 mile walks uphill in snow to school...punchcards...AOL CD art...).
Things really are so much different now. It seems like a couple of years ago that AOL was dominating the market. The IIS string vulnerabilities seem like months ago.
