Many of us have suffered a data-destroying computer crash. But some stories are better than others. Josh Diulio, a marketing exec from Monroe, Mich., left his HP laptop sitting on a ledge on the balcony of his apartment building while he ran inside to get a drink. When he came back a crow was perched on the open laptop. The crow, startled by Diulio, leaped up and away, tipping the laptop just enough that it fell seven stories to the street belowwhere, just for good luck, it was run over by passing cars.This sounds more like something that would happen in a movie than real life. OTOH, what kind of retard sets a device containing irreplaceable data on a 7th floor balcony ledge?

The same one, who as the article says, was headed inside to get a drink. Just guessing but the drink was probably a refill of another drink (adult beverage) and he never gave this another thought.
Hey, everyone when drinking thinks it is okay to leave a laptop on a 7 story balcony ledge, right?
Just my guess, but...
