Sure, but many people honestly don't know or understand what disk storage even means in the first place. The guy certainly should have erased the info, but he didn't necessarily know how this whole thing would work -- or he may not have the background or training to be sensitive to the issues here (it's not just "common sense", although it certainly seems so once you know how this works). The refurbisher, on the other hand, is the professional here, and that's where I think the primary professional and ethical obligations lie.
Still, maybe you can hire yourself out to various schools and vocational programs to give presentations on Identity Theft 101. Bring a copy of this journal entry!
