The situation first came to light after a man who bought nine hard drives in an internet auction contacted the Kanagawa government.
The servers have been leased from Fujitsu Leasing Co., which commissioned Broadlink to scrap the hard drives after they were replaced.
Broadlink held a snap inspection on Tuesday and found Takahashi was in possession of the 12 hard drives.
A security camera also captured the image of Takahashi taking the hard drives, according to the police.
