Poking around the Internet this afternoon I came across this story:
Hairdresser Sentenced For Stealing Kevin Costner’s Laptop
The hairdresser who stole Kevin Costner’s Apple laptop computer has been sentenced to two years of unsupervised probation, 25 hours of community service and ordered to pay $1,500 in restitution, according to a report from Colorado Tuesday.
The computer was stolen when the movie star was married to Christine Baumgartner in Aspen in 2004. Hairdresser Pascal Bensimon pleaded guilty to charges Monday and was given the sentence immediately.
The Apple computer contained photos of the wedding, according to the Vail (Colo.) Daily newspaper. The hairdresser had been hired to style wedding guests’ hair.
Ok, so this hairdresser was hired to style the guests’ hair at Kevin’s wedding. What I want to know is why was Kevin’s laptop getting a haircut anyway? and why would he leave such a valuable piece of equipment just sitting around for the taking?!
I mean, come on, water isn’t good for laptops and I’m sure hair gel isn’t good for them either. Crazy. Moral of the story, don’t leave your laptop unattended for any reason.
