I believe my uncle still has one more bare motherboard squirreled away somewhere -- it used to hang on his wall in a plexiglass case as art.
If they really can't find her, they should peruse the obits for her husband. Edit: 3 downvotes and a bizarre reply to my comment about sexism. From the article, "He feels badly because the woman said her husband had died a couple of months earlier". How is my comment sexist? And how would you find the woman?
The title of this submission is already pretty sexist. Had it been a man, his gender would not have been mentioned.
This isn't exactly a mystery. They know where the woman lives.
On what do you base that assertion?
"Our electronic waste pick-up service is free for all residents of Northern California, CA."
OP is likely assuming they operate like my local dump/recycling center where they record my drivers license info every time I visit and drop something off (electronic or otherwise). Believe it or not they used to physically write down the data, now they swipe. Locally they don't tag what I drop off individually with my ID but they do have my ID on file as a visitor on a certain date.
I have no idea why they collect the data as opposed to mere verification. I suspect its something along the lines of a large difference between resident rates (free) vs business rates (if you have to ask, you can't afford it)

HN's sexism at work as usual... The title of this submission is already pretty sexist. Had it been a man, his gender would not have been mentioned.
EDIT: Ok, looking through your comment history I am less surprised. You do a disservice to the very real and prevalent instances of sexism when you play the card in situations where it clearly does not apply, like this.

In contrast, when I visit the recycling center, I dump my stuff and GTFO so they likely have no memory of my visit.

The use of "mystery man" is common.

Is it that hard to imagine a title like "Apple I discarded as junk sells for $200k; mystery man stands to get half"...?
