BERLIN (Reuters) - A German man who startled his
neighbors when he hurled his computer out of the
window in the middle of the night, was let off for
disturbing the peace by police who sympathized with
his technical frustrations.

Police in the northern city of Hanover said they would
not press charges after responding to calls made by
residents in an apartment block who were woken by a
loud crash in the early hours of Saturday.

Officers found the street and pavement covered in
electronic parts and discovered who the culprit was.

Asked what had driven him to the night-time outburst,
the 51-year-old man said he had simply got annoyed
with his computer.

"Who hasn't felt like doing that?" said a police
spokesman.

While escaping any official sanction the man was made
to clear up the debris.
