as a wee anecdote in the mid 2000s I was working at the beeb in the white city building
we were on the 2nd or 3rd floor, and looked down on where they had the skips. My boss and I would monitor what they threw out for anything worth taking. One time they redecorated our offices and there was a whole bunch of perfectly fine desks and office chairs. I even got a nice sofa which I put in the lobby of the missus's office in central london (took it there on my bike)
Anyway, one day there were some PCs in the skip, so we grabbed one each. My boss took his home and fired it up. It was Greg Dyke's, the DG. Still had all his files, all his emails in outlook going back years. Nothing had been wiped. We talked about what to do about it, but most options would have revealed us as bin scabs and we didn't have anything against the bloke and didn't want to bite the hand that fed us, so he ended up wiping it himself (or so he told me). Pretty pisspoor security, though

Wise move
You've little to gain and a lot of lose.
I'm rather jealous though. I would spend all day watching for new stuff to liberate.

"The BBC has an annual income of c.£5bn, made up of licence fee and commercial revenues. It employs over 20,000 people and has bases across the UK and in 59 countries globally"
licence fee justification text, I think not.
