Wait.
How did Sherlock not know Lestrade’s first name after years of pickpocketing him and taking his IDs?
He deleted the information after they broke up.
It was too emotional to keep inside his head.
My headcanon is that Sherlock keeps all private Lestrade information in a password-protected file that can only be accessed by a specific spoken phrase.
obviously he just kept deleting it
Notice everything my ass.
The information wasn’t important. He probably forgot.
Deleting, never looking at them, not caring?
Presumably he DELETED it as “not important”.

I suppose he either steals them but doesn’t read them, or he deleted it.
