When officers contacted the resident, they determined a man in his mid-20s was burning his laptop in the fireplace
Probably a Lenovo. I hate that Chinese crap.

Officials said the man was taken to the hospital for a mental health evaluation,
but they didn't go into further detail.

Haven't we all wanted to murder our computer at some time or another? If all he did was burn the laptop, I don't think killing it should be enough to get him an evaluation.

I can't go outside today. I only do that on days my internet doesn't work. Of course, I use Comcast, so that's at least 3 times a day.

I'm on the line of he was burning it because he had some pictures on it that will be used against him. On a side note what kind of shiatty overreaching neighbors call the cops and fire department for something you are burning in your fireplace in your own home.

You are far too easily impressed. You should go look at some LOLcats or something.

So I took a little poetic license with WHY he burned the laptop. I was dyin' for a Madagascar greenlight.

I don't know about DVDs, but CDs actually do burn nicely.

I completely agree. Just got a Lenovo laptop at work and it weighs 7.5 lbs with the battery charger. I had heard a rumour that we'd be getting MacBook Airs, but it turns out only the sales people get them. Sob.

subby
come up with all that? best guess besides "make shiat up to get a greenlight" is he/she lives in/around said neighborhood and has more up-to-date info. Please elaborate,

To lazy to take out one screw and pull the hard drive out? Probably lost the Restore CD's/DVD, so a moot point. Maybe his girlfriend was 13.
