The only way to truly wipe a HD is with a sledge hammer! Even if they think they wiped the HDs they will have left a LOT of info!

I've found an arc welder to be quite effective.

Not so.

Formatting a hard drive or simply deleting files leaves lots of information behind, but there are several very good programs around that will do a thorough job of wiping all data from the device.

KillDisk

Darik's Boot and Nuke

Eraser

Symantec/Norton Ghost has a utility to perform a secure wipe too.
