#4 I have seen it in the corporate world before too... complete corporate histories tossed in the dumpster post mergers.
Usually happens when the manager over the facilities person gets RIFed. New "change management" team, usually young bucks, say "We are paying $110 a Sq ft to keep this stuff in downtown corporate HQ... Dump it, and any of the corporate knowledge that went with it.
I looked around one such room and found payroll documents with SS numbers all over the place, being thrown into open dumpsters.
I pointed it out to a manager (I was a consultant), he shrugged and said "..it's what the new guys wanted done".
