A policy should be required that states that all records created/collected
by/through and for the company are the property of the company.  Any records
removed from the company without permission will be considered as theft.
 Charges will be brought against perpetrators.

The policy should also state that records WILL be destroyed after the
appropriate retention period has lapsed unless required for discovery
purposes.  It should also state that after the discovery process is complete
and judgement received and been fulfilled, these records will continue
through the complete destruction process.
