Seriously? You're blaming the victim?
It’s not the victim’s fault. But still… it’s only prudent to take precautions.
Bringing awareness to the issue could help.
I am always worried someone will fix and misuse my old phone.
Really should think about just paying another few hundred bucks and just keep the device if it contains nude photos of your wife which you cannot wipe. Don't send that device anywhere... Provided this story is true, I would guess the device might never have reached Google and it might have been stolen on the way there. Don't know what that would mean for liability.

Somebody else: "You should probably take or hide the cash when you get out of your car."
Offering wisdom for how to avoid a bad situation twice is not the same thing as blaming the victim.

However the number of mistakes along the way is ridiculous: taking nudes in the first place, not wiping/backing-up your data regularly, not using 2fa, etc.
These would not be an issue if you would never send your device back to google."Don't be evil" as a motto is just a facade, it's well-known throughout history that if you want to do something evil or bad, you do it in plain sight, especially when the entire globe knows about you.
Unless people don't get "hit" by the reality: google is not the saviour of humanity and it has many flaws, many of which >can't< be avoided statistically speaking, considering the amount of employees and people they effectively manage, then no lesson will be learned.

I really wish the masses had never heard the term "victim blaming". 95% of the time i see it used, it's nonsensical pearl-clutching insisting that no one can ever take steps to protect themselves.

It is NOT what you do in order to determine fault if a bad thing DOES happen.
