| 481028 | 2006-08-27 23:08:00 | 28 August 2006 Time is running out for a cheeky shoplifter who became an Internet star after stealing a laptop in broad daylight from a Greymouth computer store. IT at Work uploaded its security footage of the thief taking a Hewlett-Packard laptop on Google.com to the sound of the Pink Panther theme music. The footage has been a hit with internet users worldwide, making it the site's most watched video clip for a week. Constable Rose Green says Christchurch Police have identified a prime suspect and are in the process of tracking him down. :D video.google.com |

| 481030 | 2006-08-28 00:24:00 | Story about it here (www.stubbedtoe.co.nz) on a blog. Quote: "The thing is, the laptop is a brand new model, and it had no battery in it, so it's completely useless to the guy. You can't get a generic charger that'll fit/have a high enough wattage (Without some serious rangi'n), and the charger for it is also a new model, so any older HP/Compaq chargers will not fit, so this guy is ****ed. Hewlett Packard are putting a flag on any spare batterys or chargers ordered, and are putting out notice to every HP dealer in the country" Haha he steals a $2,000 laptop and can't turn the thing on. :lol: |

My local foodtown has generic chargers (Laser brand) for $100. Fits most if not all lappies via interchangable adaptors |
