army classified mp3 playerA New Zealand man thought he was just buying an MP3 player at an Oklahoma thrift shop, but what he ended up with was much more.  When Chris Ogle hooked the player up to his computer he found it loaded with 60 files, all containing classified information about the US military.  Some of the files had to do with soldiers who had been deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan, others dealt with equipment that had been deployed to certain bases and mission briefings.

To top it all off, the player never worked for Ogle as an actual MP3 player.  He has said he would be happy to turn the device over to the US government if they asked for it, which, as of yet, they have not.
