I read a story about people still plugging in USB sticks found in random parking on nakedsecurity.sophos.com and my question is why would they do that. There is no good reason to plug in a USB stick found in a random parking lot because it's just too dangerous. An attacker could easily load these USB sticks with computer destroying malware but people continue to plug these things in. I think that the best thing to do when you see a USB stick in a parking lot is just destroy it and move on. No need for snooping around these devices because it's just too risky.
