It's hilarious (and kinda sad) that he thinks that any electronics would still be functional after being compacted and buried a landfill for over a decade. Sure there were those Atari cartridges, but that was a landfill in New Mexico, not Wales.

Also that he thinks that it's anyone's fault but his for chucking it away. I know he says that an ex did it, but he left it in a drawer and forgot about it. If it was thrown by a partner surely they'd be liable (by his logic)?

the law states that property deposited at landfill sites belonged to the local authority, and that its environmental permits forbade it from disrupting the area in pursuit of the hard drive.

Also, this. He's just going to make noise and waste a lot of money here I fear.
