Thank fuck I left my mount on password. Locked up permissions on Linux might be a pain but it is a lesser pain.

And as a developer, I'm assuming the guy was following the 321 rule, right? https://media.tenor.com/Z78LoEaY9-8AAAAM/seth-meyers-right.gif

Nope, them attempting to use Recuva leads me to believe they did not have backups.

Without permission? "I don't know what I'm doing, you do it" sounds a lot like permission.
