I know almost nothing about computer security and what can and cannot be detected.

But if I have control of a laptop and control over when the laptop is rediscovered, I could put crap on it which could arguably have come from the original owner. That's because I have some level of intelligence, am not shy about looking up how things work when I'm not familiar with them, and am a paranoid SOB who thinks that "if anything could go wrong, it will go wrong for me".

I think part of this gross incompetence is the "old guy" network of people like Giuliani who probably didn't know that people looking at the laptop could read the names you put on the files. And who don't respect that other people have some level of intelligence.
