There appear to be conflicting reports of this. One article cites that the s&d team couldn't find it, another suggests that the CIA watched the crash via satellite and determined the Iranians had "a pile of rubble" and decided to send no such team.
I suppose it'd take someone with actual knowledge of the craft to say definitively whether or not a) the craft that was lost was in fact a sentinel, and b) whether or not that's what it really looks like.
It seems to match wikipedia, although it looks a bit small (though no official numbers are given.

With so much personal data being kept on the cloud, including government and health records or your source code, do you have any concerns about it falling into the wrong hands? Do you think the cloud's benefits are outweighed by continuing security issues?
...What bothers me most about this is the hard-coded, arbitrary value. I don't exactly agree with the concept (I'm more of a free-market guy) but if you're gonna do it, at least base the dollar amount on some other value, like some fraction of GDP or per Capita income, or even a multiple of minimum wage. Having to reprocess the bill every 5-10 years due to inflation seems a lot like a recompile, and what's worse it may just not happen at all!
Just because unemployment in this country is high does not mean that skilled workers (like IT staff) are in surplus. Employers pay more than they are required to law because that's what the skill-set demands. You can hire a bum off the street for minimum wage, but he probably won't replace the CISCO engineer you just fired for wanting overtime pay too well.
