I feel like IT could yell at OP for a little bit, but would ultimately have to stare the fact that they allowed non-privileged users to just change the operating system square in the face. Like holy hell, 500 employees and anybody can just be like, "Hey, maybe I'll make a major OS change today because why not?" What else are they letting happen?!

I work in it and one of our employees brought a laptop to us that had been completely and thoroughly dismantled with a screwdriver.

She told us that she wanted to remove the hard drive but she couldn't find it.

It had a flash hard drive that had been detached from the board was sitting next to the Wi-Fi card.

Me and the other it guy just kind of like looked at each other for a minute and then got her a new laptop.

To be fair she was due for an upgrade anyway, but I've never had anyone dismantle their soon to be recycled devices.
