What a waste of 30 good Macs

[Pilot7893]

Over the weekend, some kid decided to steal about 30 of the Apple notebooks the school was saving for the students. What would he do with 30 macs? Absolutely nothing, because we found all 30 of them smashed up in the recycle bin today. Seriosly, what is UP with the soceity in my school?! We have a mini terrorist attack every year! First it's bomb threat '08, then rifle bullet discovery, and now this?! And now our schoolboard has to talk Steve Jobs into giving us another 30 notebooks for free. If he says no, that kid is going to be in a sload of trouble. Wonder what his parents reaction was like...

That kid should be "in a sload of trouble" anyway, IMO. I'm thinking jail time plus having to pay the kid back.

They already figured out who it was?

Doesn't your school insure valuable items like tens of thousands of dollars of computers?

I know thats kind of beside the point but that seems to be the logical thing to do, claim on the insurance for it and purchase new ones.

I doubt whoever stole them could have sold them, I assume they were marked as school property in some way that couldn't be removed and of course serial numbers could be traced - linking it all back to whoevers selling them of course but thats some really shocking vandalism by one of your students.

Sadly, schools are always targets for this sort of thing, often easy to get into and many people know the layout. My highschool was set on fire one summer holiday*, causing immense damage to an entire wing, gutted about 12 classrooms, computer room, library.. I bet that was a big insurance claim!





*We got an extra week of school though:speakcool:

I also remember one kid during my middle school years was inspired by the BHS bomb threat and decided to set off a stinkbomb in my school, but they wouldn't evacuate us!

What can I say, some people don't like being locked up in a school all day. Makes me wonder why he hates the school enough to smash all those Macs without even trying to make money off them.

Of course, any school is going to have a certain percentage of individuals who are just mentally unhinged regardless of environment.

 

[willy88]

He didn't even keep one for himself?

 

[Pilot7893]

No. I think he needs to go to a mental clinic. Seriously, he was going to get one for free in a year anyway. FREE!!

 

[willy88]

No. I think he needs to go to a mental clinic. Seriously, he was going to get one for free in a year anyway. FREE!!

He steals expensive pieces of equipment, smashes them, and doesn't even keep a single one for his own gain. What a ing idiot.

 

[Ghostrider]

No. I think he needs to go to a mental clinic. Seriously, he was going to get one for free in a year anyway. FREE!!

A mercy killing may be in order.

Probably something like [Helicopter parent mode ON]: "WHATWHATWHAT? No way! Our little precious angel would never do anything like that because he's SO SPECIAL and stuff and if you so much as infer he may be guilty of anything we will so SUESUESUE you out of existence."
[Helicopter parent mode OFF]

Sadly that's how things go these days.

Man, that's bad. Didn't even use use them for personal gain.

On the upside, they might just get recycled... :lol:

..probably a product of bad upbringing?? Which is close to the root cause of a lot of problems today..

I'm sure, some of the problems are caused by that, but I've had far too much of "kids do bad things because their parents didn't hit them enough".

I think a lot of this behaviour comes down to cultural and social rejection, not all of it, but a lot.

Maybe the perpetrator just hated the school alot. I've had that feeling before (hating schools, not smashing notebooks).

Maybe he was hired by Bill gates

:lollerskates:
that made my day

 

[computerex]

What type were they?

 

[Pilot7893]

What type were they?

Uh, just like, the laptop. I don't really know the different types of Macs

 

[Torgo]

Why should the school board be asking Jobs for replacements? Why not have the little miscreant do it as part of his punishment?

Oh, that's right, we aren't allowed to punish the little snowflakes anymore.

 

[McWgogs]

Amish jihad perhaps?

 

[T.Neo]

Oh, that's right, we aren't allowed to punish the little snowflakes anymore.

You're right but I'll repeat what I said earlier:

I've had far too much of "kids do bad things because their parents didn't hit them enough".

I think the kid who did this must repay with community service.
It'll actually be useful for the community/school.

People make the mistake of treating the symptoms, not the causes of such behviour.
