Today I was in lab (for a graduate course) and me and my lab partner went to talk to our professor for a little while to ask a question about a previous lab. There were several people still left in the lab so we left the computer on, and did not think twice about it. When I got back I saw someone, who I do not particularly trust, at our computer. At first I thought he was just using our lab station to finish the lab since most of the equipment in the lab is broken and we often have to finish a lab at another station. I saw him leaving with a print out of the latest homework that I know for a fact he was having difficulty with. I then thought back to how I don't really trust this person and think he may have copied files (homework, lab reports, info about my internship that really shouldn't be shared) from my USB stick. I checked the last access time to many files on the thumb drive and sure enough many which I have not accessed for several days had been accessed today. To make sure it wasn't showing I accessed a file by just right clicking and clicking properties I checked files that were not as likely to be copied and of course it displayed they had not been accessed today.
tl;dr - I think someone may have stolen files off of my usb stick. I checked access time and it shows some files were accessed today (even though I haven't accessed them recently).
