Penn Live reported a few weeks ago:
An 11-year-old boy urinated on several MacBook computers on a cart in the Upper Allen Elementary School Wednesday, damaging them beyond repair, according to Upper Allen Twp. police.
The loss came to more than $36,000, police said.
Police charged the boy with institutional vandalism and criminal mischief and are turning him over to the Cumberland County Juvenile Probation Department.
And the reason the laptops are being written up as a total loss is because Apple won’t even try to fix them. Apparently, AppleCare won’t cover urination – but the absurdity of that statement aside, Apple rightfully looks at urine infested MacBooks as a biohazzard.
The more you know, right?
