I have this 160Gb external hard drive and I take it with me when I go gaming at a friends house.
The other day I was at my friends house and when I had to leave I must of dropped the thing and I didn't hear it. His property is mostly a massive farmyard and the ground is a nasty mess of mud, piss and crap.
This afternoon he calls me and says that I left my drive at his house. I go over there and when he gives me a plastic bag I see this:



I was about to blow chunks right there in his face.
He said it was found when his dad was ploughing the driveway and by then it had been tumbled a few times and dragged through...I don't even want to know.
I got the thing home and after putting on a latex glove I proceeded to put it in the toilet and clean it off.

It took a while but a few flushes and a hot rinse later it was relatively clean and to my luck the drive had only a skidmark on it.

I'm going to wait a few days and put it in the dehydrator so I can get any water out of it before I even try to test it and see if I lost anything.
I don't think anyone can top this one.
