Run "uname -a", and figure out exactly what the system is.  While there are 
lots of ways to set up auditing of a Unix-like system, if they weren't turned 
on already, it is unlikely that you are going to figure out much about an event 
which already happened.

Anyway, you should recover the deleted folder from your backups.
If you weren't making backups, start.

It's likely that if someone starting maintaining this system and sets up user 
permissions correctly, the situation would improve considerably.
