He should get that laptop back to them IMMEDIATELY. These sound like exactly the sort of douches would try to charge him with theft. (Edit: Why is it not surprising they don't have a protocol in place for managing dismissing staff and, like, getting their stuff back?)
Well, the customers database with important data just got nuked, so even if there is protocol, people who would normally do the steps have different things in mind. Laptop and such is least of their concerns.
