  • You should have kept the USB as evidence, or copied the evidence of attempted theft off of it. You’re unlikely to be able to prove it again now if you let him leave with it, and you just let him know one more thing to try and hide.

    It was his USB. I couldn’t keep it. But of course I copied it, I thought that was a given.

    That was not available outside of our internal network, and what you actually managed to grab does not pose any risk

    It wasn’t even anything. It was my development version running on a browser with placeholder data. The app is my property (sure of it, not getting into details) and was running on my own personal home server (and there’s a good chance it will stay that way). There was nothing there to hide, no sensitive data. He’s so stupid he actually thought it was anything important and that he could even get anything useful by saving it to his USB. It’s quite funny if you don’t take it too seriously.

    Start keeping a journal of all your interactions with him. Neutral, positive, and negative. Time, date, and one to three short dispassionate sentences.

    Will do. But I don’t think he’s asking anything else after I put my foot down. Maybe I’ll follow u/Optional advice and set him a sandbox to fuck around. When do you think I should show that journal to our boss? What’s the line he needs to cross?
