One would have thought their I.T. dept. would have had a few people assigned to removing the HDDs before the sale.

I would wager that their I.T. department is understaffed. That or they would miss their budget targets by removing and replacing sensitive hard drives. If they do not voice there opinion strongly enough to a high enough person, bureaucracy will overrule them.

Recently I repaired an Apple at some corporation, it was only one Mac in an office with hundreds of PC's so the tech was clueless. Anyways I had to make a very strong argument to get them to replace their 5+ year old dead Mac which I would have charge $750 to repair when they could get a refurbished iMac from Apple for $950 that was about 6-8 times faster.
