<span style="font-size:10pt;line-height:100%">Spurs' Bowen Suing Computer Repair Shop</span><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Bruce Bowen and his wife are suing a local computer repair shop for nearly $2 million after a hard drive with their personal information ended up in a stranger's hands.The woman who got the hard drive is talking only to KENS 5.The hard drive allegedly contained Bruce Bowen's financial and legal documents, pictures of his family, and pictures from one of the team's NBA championships. All this ended up in the hands of Joy Roan, who just wanted her computer fixed."(A friend was) like, 'Do you know Bruce Bowen?' and I said, 'No, why?' 'Because there are a lot of pictures of Bruce Bowen on here,' " Roan said.Needless to say, the hard drive that had Roan's name on it ? after she had her computer repaired ? was not hers.Instead, it was a backup copy of the NBA All-Star's hard drive.Roan found a phone number, and called Bowen's wife."I was like, 'Is this Bruce Bowen's house?' and she's like, 'Who's this?' I said, 'I think I have your hard drive,' " Roan said.The Bowens are now suing Computer Nerdz, the business they hired to fix their computer in August 2006. According to the lawsuit, the Bowens were told their hard drive was damaged and needed to be replace. It goes on to say the business then sold the hard drive to Roan.</div>-RealGM

Who knows what they've done with anything, not necassarily information, but needless to say, any one of us would get mad.
