How did he lose the damn keys? It's kinda hard to empathize with that when everyone knows what the consequences are to (i assume) accidentally throwing a fucking single copy of your keys into the trash.

From the article:

The whole situation started in the summer of 2013, when Howells accidentally put a laptop that contained his Bitcoin wallet (with 7,500 Bitcoin) in a black bag in the hall of his house. His partner at the time assumed the bag was filled with trash and disposed of it.
