His bag, which had the USB drive containing the private information he was always bringing about, was gone. According to the report, the drive was encrypted and had the personal information of the 465,177 inhabitants of Amagasaki.

Dates of birth, addresses, bank account numbers, and tax information were among the facts provided about the residents. The local government had engaged the man’s employer, a business named BIPROGY, to find out who qualified for tax exemptions.

This week, the business issued a statement to the local media: “We deeply apologize to the citizens of Amagasaki, the city of Amagasaki, and all concerned for the inconvenience caused by the loss of important information entrusted to us.”

The drive was eventually discovered on Friday, but not before several city residents became irate. According to the report, the local city office obtained more than 30,000 calls about the incident in a single day.

Who said there were not any happy endings? According to Vice citing NHK, the worker discovered his drive and bag “near an apartment building he vaguely recalls passing by during his night out”
