WHY I DON'T BELIEVE HACKERS HAVE THE ROMNEYS' TAX RETURNS

There's a simple reason I don't believe this:

A group of hackers claim to be in possession of Mitt and Ann Romney's tax returns after they took them in the night from PriceWaterhouseCoopers' offices in Franklin, Tennessee, according to a release on Pastebin....

They also said they are holding the tax returns for a ransom of $1 million bitcoins, according to another post on Pastebin....

I don't believe it because the first Pastebin post reads in part:

Romney's 1040 tax returns were taken from the PWC office 8/25/2012 by gaining access to the third floor via a gentleman working on the 3rd floor of the building. Once on the 3rd floor, the team moved down the stairs to the 2nd floor and setup shop in an empty office room. During the night, suite 260 was entered, and all available 1040 tax forms for Romney were copied. A package was sent to the PWC on suite 260 with a flash drive containing a copy of the 1040 files, plus copies were sent to the Democratic office in the county and copies were sent to the GOP office in the county at the beginning of the week also containing flash drives with copies of Romney's tax returns before 2010.

If these folks actually copied the forms, I don't believe they'd be referring to them (repeatedly) as just 1040s. We have access to the Romneys' 2010 returns, and the PDF includes a hell of a lot of different forms and schedules beyond the 1040; the whole package runs to 203 pages. If you were stealing this stuff, why would you (physically or electronically) grab just the 1040s? And if you took everything, wouldn't you notice the many pages of 1116s, 3700s, 4797s, 6251s, and so on, and tell the world you had those as well, considering the fact that the other forms and schedules are where all the really interesting stuff would be recorded? Or are the hackers saying that PWC keeps clients' 1040s separate from other forms and schedules? And if so, why the hell would PWC do that?

Am I being too literal-minded? Maybe. But I just don't buy that you'd download this stuff and not know the first thing about what you'd downloaded.

And if anything really did happen, my suspicions fall on the guy who once bugged his own office, Karl Rove.

UPDATE: In comments, marindenver suggests I've got it exactly wrong -- "1040" is precisely what you'd say if you had everything. Hmm, maybe.
