My heart genuinely goes out to him. Not merely for losing the bitcoin. The idea of trying to negotiate a search (or purchase) of the dump with the risk avoidant jobsworth council bureaucrats of a mid sized British town is spine chilling.

Every time I hear about this guy I picture him finding his lost treasure right as BTC goes back under $1.
I wonder if there is a system to dumps where they can kinda triangulate an area and general depth to a calendar of when things were put there? Talk about a needle in a haystack.
What are the odds that a laptop, having spent 12 years in the elements and probably under huge amounts of slimy weight, would even operate or have a functional drive if by some miracle he was able to find it? I honestly don't know, but it just feels like the entire thing would be fried.
There's companies that open them up in a clean room and magnetically image the disk. Not cheap, but I think worth it in this case.
