Photographs of half a dozen keys

Files on secret affairs, complete with compromising photos of prominent individuals. Include notes on which are deep and real and which are out of context photos of opportunity.

The location of a gigantic stash of cocaine.

A list of donations to a jumble of politicians of your choice. If the PCs bother to correlate the list with the public records, they'll find none of these contributions listed.

Building plans for an apartment block - including the unknown secret passages.

Thieves’ contact info for fences, drop locations or protocols. Maybe floor plans for the next few buildings they were going to hit or door lock tumbler diagrams and emails from a contact who could provide the PCs files for other locks for a price.

The keylist for the local police bodycams and dashcams, and the remote access keys for the off-site backup.

A prisoner manifest that lines up with about half the local missing persons list.

A recipe for meth.

The maintenance manual for a military electronic warfare device.

Local foreclosure and eviction notices, compiled from the county sheriff's office (or relevant authority in your area). Cryptic annotations.

That doesn't really have the same effect since you don't have eraser marks on an excel sheet. Could be you can turn on comments and edits, to see the original name redlined and someone else saying "We don't call it that, too much attention"

>A screenshot of a map, zoomed-in on the location of an abandoned plot of land at the edge of the town, except in the screenshot there's a building there. If the PCs check again in real life, its there too. If they ask anyone in town about it, they say it's always been there. If they ask people who only briefly passed through town before, they say that it indeed was not there before.

>Or just have blank rows in the excel sheet.
Better yet, rows where contents are deleted in the first few columns which are on screen, but contain data in the rest (so name, product code, etc are missing, but shipping dates and the like are there if one scrolls right), implying someone deleted it in a hurry.
