From the dude's own Facebook account:

"I actually considered selling [her laptop] on eBay, but decided against it. She bought it with her money. For us to sell it and take the money, in my mind anyways, is just theft, even from my own kid."

So....taking it is stealing, but taking it and destroying it is okay? No logic there.

Is it weird that part of my reaction was that, given the waste, clearly the father suffers from the same entitled upbringing as the daughter? I mean, I had assumed he had bought the computer for her, and if it had been me and I had acted up enough to make my parents do such a thing (and my parents are more reasonable so I would have had to be pretty bad), they probably would have just given my computer to someone less well off than me who would appreciate it better, especially since they sank the money in it anyway. He basically said, "I sank money into your computer, and I have no value in it except to wave it over your head."

Nope. Don't think it's weird at all.

It is a little weird. (his reaction, not yours.)

But its simple-he was pissed, he wanted to break something.

And maybe, even if it was on an unconscious level, maybe he wanted to scare her.

Guy is an idiot. Under law what he did is not only theft, but a whole slew of other criminal acts.

Not neccesarilly. Kids under 18 work the parents can take their money. Minors don't have much rights.

Legally it's completely theft. She gave him the computer with the understanding that he would do an IT update on it and return it to her in reasonable condition. Then he intentionally destroyed it. It's theft pure and simple. Dude just doesn't know the law.

Police saying no laws have been broken again just makes me believe that this video is faked, that everything leading up to it is completely false.

I mean, maybe there's more fact out there about it that proves me wrong but laws have obviously been broken here and the police claim they haven't?

Why not give it to that cleaning lady you respect so much? Seems fairer than just breaking it.

Because the dad doesn't understand the legal definition of "theft" and would consider that stealing.
