In this case (unlike a previous one) it wasn't 'stolen' from an active company employee, so I'm guessing not much, since the owner of the unit isn't the copyright owner / associated with the copyright holder in the first place and nothing was actually stolen.
It would be up to Atari to enforce this if that is even possible (weren't these things considered tax write-offs? with the current Atari being an entirely different company anyway?)
If something was damaged in the process the collector could probably explore that avenue tho.
But no, this isn't the first time something like this has happened, and frankly this case is far less serious. In a previous case I was even asked to volunteer email / any logged private conversations between me and a third party for part of an investigation into what happened (although I had nothing to forward since that side of things had nothing to do with me and I hadn't been in contact with said person for well over 5 years)
