Someone at Uni with a mate of mine
Claims to have lost everything, due to a power cut. I'm a little suspicious. I asked him if she'd gone to a repair shop, get the data retrieved. She's said that nowhere can retrieve it, she's been to about 5 places.

I call bullshit. While she's likely to lose some of it, I'd be utterly amazed if they can't recover anything, especially considering her computer is working fine now.

Smells a bit like 'the dog ate my homework on the bus' to me.
Tutors must hear this so many times.
