I am truly hoping that this post will determine him to give us a little piece of attention.
It won't.
It will only make a few others read only the first post and then write "Interesting story, sorry for your loss", without caring at all if it's for real or not. And our concerns will be lost in a sea of garbage.
And why would he post images? Would he break a HDD to actually prove nothing? He's got some merit, he's got a sea of sympathy, he can move on.
