HIPAA Auditor Involved in PHI Breach

This story about a HIPAA Auditor loosing a USB Memory stick that had 4500 patient records on it leaves me with one HUGE question:

What on earth was the reason that the HIPAA Auditor gave for why they needed copies of patient records? I can't imagine any HIPAA regulation item that would need to be audited by taking a copy of patient records. This sounds like a rogue auditor, or a badly broken process.
