The only thing I can think of him scavenging off a server would be ram, cpu or hard drives. I’m thinking since he hasn’t just dropped the parts back off that it’s the drives and he formatted them? But then no one would be that dumb right?

It’s unlikely as he said ICT typically pull the hard drives for destruction. If he knows they normally keep drives for secure destruction then he should know not to take a device that has drives. If that is the case then OP is negligent and should be punished for his actions/crime. He may also be sued for theft of intellectual property if the drives had any data on them, and destruction of intellectual property if he wiped them.

If it’s just a chassis with no drives, and ICT we’re keeping it because it was too good to bin, or it had rare hardware they might require later, then it is not such a big deal.

I think OP needs a lawyer as he may very well be in legal trouble if caught.
